Correa, who waived his no-trade clause, said MLB.com that he and the twins had agreed that it was time for him to continue.
“I had some conversations with the front office in Minnesota and we didn’t move (the direction). I thought we were after the playoffs (in 2023),” said Correa of the website. “And they agreed that it was time to move me.
“I let her know that there was only one team that I would allow if I would happen … I come home and there is only one goal and that is to win championships.”
Puerto Ricos Correa was the rookie of the year of the American League of the year in 2015 and won a World Series title in 2017.

In March 2022, Correa was $ 105.3 million with the twins.
USA TODAY reported that twins will send 33 million US dollars to cover its remaining contract.
The 30 -year -old Correa had an inconsistent offensive season with seven homes in 93 games.
Correa, a three-time all-star as a shortstop, said that he wanted to switch to the third basis “in recent years”.
This step will be the key for the Astros, with the third Baseman Isaac Paredes dealing with a right thigh injury.

In other important steps before the closing date, the San Diego Padres acquired the right -handed Pitcher Mason Miller from athletics.
Miller has the fastest parking spaces in the main leagues and reports that the Padres could switch him back from a reliever back to the starting series.
The Seattle Mariners strengthened their offensive with the acquisition of Slugger Eugenio Suarez from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Suarez has 36 Homeruns in 106 games and returns to Seattle, where he played in 2022 and 2023.
