The Houston Astros acquired their former first overall pick Carlos Correa from the Minnesota Twins, a source told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Correa waived his no-trade clause to facilitate the move, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Minnesota will receive one prospect in return and is eating some of the remaining money on Correa’s contract, a source told Chandler Rome of The Athletic. However, the Astros will pay down the majority of his deal, Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports.
