Just sew your Springer and Correa jerseys together

I am so glad I decided to leave work when I did. What a last 45 minutes. I don't care what anyone says, I'm so happy Carlos is back.

Carlos Correa says it’s the right time of his career to move to third base:

“We were waiting for a shortstop to come in [with Twins] and now that I get to play third base, it will be great for me at this stage of my career,” he told https://t.co/mDPUQE6xQB

Maybe he'll take #1. Just keep the other two halves!

why does everyone want Cease so bad?

seems like he has had one really good year and thats it.

I dont get paying a ton for him for 2 months

even in this crappy season he has 153 Ks in 118 innings.

We can fix him… think Cole a few years ago.m and Kikuchi last year.

Cease is going to cost A LOT!!!

Be prepared.

he's a rental with an era north of 4...... I dont get it

Last year he had a 3.47 ERA with a WHIP of 1.067 and a 4.1 WAR.

2022 he had a 2.20 ERA with a WHIP of 1.109 and a 6.4 WAR.

He has the stuff to be an ace ace. With Murphy and Miller, I expect him to be closer to an ace than a 4.79 ERA.

Credit to Crane. He's spending big money. Astros payroll stays near the top of the league while our friends down the road are scared of the tax.

I got a call at 2:57. I was told that it was between Jim Crane and the Twins owner.

Minutes later the news broke.

Jim made it happen.

In interview with MLB. com, Correa says he’s happy to come home to the team where he started career. He said it was clear Minnesota wasn’t going in the direction he wanted and they agreed to find a trade.

“I let them know there was only one team I would allow that to happen.”
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) July 31, 2025

Assuming this quote is accurate, the Astros had all the leverage in this deal. That's what you like to see.

Now I am scared of what was agreed to. Hopefully Dana gave him speaker notes to stick to.

Second best SS/2B prospect. Dont be shocked if Yainer is gone. Janek is a better defensive catcher and more dangerous on the base paths.

The Minnesota Twins didn't eat $50 million of his contract as the Astros desired, but still a significant amount, with other major league players involved in the mega deal.

I'm still curious about this tweet, implies there was someone else coming back

He should be a platoon. He's an .800 OPS type vs RHP.

This does the Astros and Dana no benefit in getting out. I'd prefer they keep news like that under wraps.
