According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Astros were looking to land a Minnesota Twins reliever at the trade deadline, with an eye on Griffin Jax, a right-handed reliever. But, they weren't pursuing him alone; he would've been a part of the Carlos Correa blockbuster.

All told, the Twins made nine deals this week, sending out 10 major-league players, which represented nearly 40% of their roster. Among them, star shortstop Carlos Correa waived his no-trade clause to return to the Houston Astros in the team’s most shocking move at the deadline.

The Mets upgraded at center field by acquiring Cedric Mullins from Baltimore at the trade deadline, but that came after taking a bigger shot that didn’t work out. According to Dan Hayes of The Athletic, the Mets were one of six teams that contacted Byron Buxton ’s agent about the possibility of the Twins outfielder waiving his no-trade clause.
