Carlos Correa is back with the Houston Astros, reuniting one of the franchise’s most iconic players with the city where he became a star. While Astros fans are more than familiar with Correa, the man behind the blockbuster trade hasn’t met him yet.

According to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart, the Astros traded for shortstop Carlos Correa in a deal with the Minnesota Twins. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported the Twins will pay $33 million of the remaining $103.42 million on Correa's contract.

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.
