The Twins likely made the right decision to trade Carlos Correa to his original team, the Houston Astros. Correa is arguably having the worst season of his career, as he had a career low 92 OPS+ before the Twins dropped the hammer and dealt him to Houston on July 31, and his recent string of injuries is cause for concern. Shedding his contract was in the best interest of the Twins, especially given the substantial debt the team has accrued under the Pohlad family.
However, since being moved to the Astros, Correa has looked like the version of himself that allowed him to sign a $200 million contract.
