MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reported on Thursday that the Houston Astros had re-acquired 2017 World Series winner Carlos Correa in a trade with the Minnesota Twins.

At 62-47 and in first place in the American League West, the Astros are firmly in the mix to win their third World Series title since 2017. The return of Carlos Correa—a reliable hitter who's comfortable in Houston—is a slam dunk acquisition for the 'Stros.

The Minnesota Twins traded Carlos Correa to the Astros on Thursday, according to multiple reports. He will play third base for the team, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. The 30-year-old waived his no-trade clause for the deal to go through.
