Apparently, something changed.<\/p>\n<p>Correa began his career with the Astros as the first overall pick of the 2012 MLB Draft and was a star for the team from his Rookie of the Year-winning 2015 season to his Gold Glove-winning 2021, earning a since-tainted ring in the 2017 World Series. He was a franchise pillar of the team, but opted to leave after 2021 for a short-term, high-salary deal with the Twins.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>His current deal includes three more years after this season that will pay him an average of $32 million per season. He has four more years of team options after 2028, meaning this deal could keep him in Houston for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Houston Astros&#8217; big move at the MLB trade deadline involves a familiar face.
