Correa is a 3-time All-Star, former Rookie of the Year and member of the Astros team who won the 2017 World Series. On the morning of the trade deadline, it appeared Houston's trade talks with Minnesota for Correa were "all but dead," per USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

The Minnesota Twins traded Carlos Correa to the Astros on Thursday, according to multiple reports. He will play third base for the team, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. The 30-year-old waived his no-trade clause for the deal to go through.

Cease could just be a half-year rental because of all the starting pitchers on Houston's injured list. The Astros have a full rotation sidelined. Lance McCullers, Luis Garcia, Ronel Blanco, Spencer Arrighetti, Cristian Javier and J.P. France are all on the injured list.
