Astros’ Latest Carlos Correa Announcement Should Raise Jeremy Peña Concerns originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Astros made arguably the flashiest trade of the 2025 deadline, acquiring 2017 world series champion Carlos Correa from the Minnesota Twins, who paid off a portion of Correa's remaining mega-contract.

As soon as the Houston Astros completed the trade to bring Carlos Correa back Thursday, visions of past October glory began dancing through the heads of fans.

Less than halfway through his six-year, $200 million contract — amid an epic sell-off at the trade deadline on Thursday — the Twins dealt Correa, one of the leaders in their clubhouse, back to the Houston Astros, where he began his career, the biggest move on a dark day for the organization.
