Carlos Correa addresses Astros trade rumors amid Twins' sell mode

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa stated that discussions about a trade back to the Houston Astros before Thursday's deadline are not "serious," though he did not entirely rule out the possibility. Correa, who possesses a no-trade clause, emphasized his goal is to remain and win with the Twins, despite the team indicating they plan to shed contracts. The Astros are reportedly exploring re-acquiring him to address infield needs due to Isaac Paredes' injury, but any potential deal would likely require the Twins to contribute to his significant contract. Correa has been battling nagging injuries and recently left games due to migraines, with an MRI showing no serious concerns.
