Carlos Correa is back with the Houston Astros after a surprise trade from the Minnesota Twins right before the deadline. There is a lesser-known SF Giants connection with this transaction, as former second-round pick Matt Mikulski was shipped to Minnesota to complete the deal.
The SF Giants connection to the bizarre Carlos Correa trade back to the Astros
That move gained traction quickly right before the trade deadline. He was in the third year of a six-year, $200 million pact. Correa's contract also includes options starting in 2029. It is always a bit bizarre to see a player with that type of contract move in the middle of the season, especially one who is underperforming like Correa.
