Carlos Correa is returning to Houston, giving the Astros a huge — and familiar — boost after they reacquired the shortstop from the Minnesota Twins just before Thursday's trade deadline, according to a person with direct knowledge.

The Houston Astros reportedly acquired a familiar face ahead of the 2025 MLB trade deadline. According to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart, the Astros traded for shortstop Carlos Correa in a deal with the Minnesota Twins. Correa will play third base in Houston to replace the injured Isaac Paredes, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

Carlos Correa is on his way back to the team that drafted him in a trade with the Minnesota Twins, according to multiple reports. He helped the Astros win the World Series in 2017 and brought Houston to two more appearances in the Fall Classic.
