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.

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 has registered three hits in 12 at-bats since his return to Houston. He hit his first home run for the Astros during Houston's 6-1 loss to the Red Sox on Sunday. The Astros were swept at Fenway Park. Correa is expected to be their everyday third basemen, but he's also played some shortstop because of an injury to Jeremy Peña.
