The Minnesota Twins' decision to trade Carlos Correa may have inadvertently set the wheels in motion on another major deal the team made last Thursday.

Carlos Correa started asking the Minnesota Twins for a position change almost as soon as he signed his long-term extension.

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.
