The Twins traded nearly half of their MLB roster at last week’s trade deadline, but if it weren’t for the Carlos Correa deal, pitcher Griffin Jax likely would have stayed put.

Correa will waive his no-trade clause and the Twins are sending the Astros $30 million of the $96 million guaranteed to Correa over the next three seasons. The Twins will get a prospect in return, left-handed pitcher Matt Mikulski.

Carlos Correa is returning to Houston. The Astros reacquired the three-time All-Star shortstop from the Minnesota Twins just before Thursday’s trade deadline.
