Astros Reportedly Continue Push for All-Star Infielder Carlos Correa

The Houston Astros apparently still are pushing hard for a reunion with All-Star infielder Carlos Correa.
According to Chandler Rome and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Astros know they want to bring back Correa with Isaac Paredes sidelined for the remainder of the season.
"Even after acquiring Ramón Urías from the Baltimore Orioles, the Astros remain interested in upgrading their lineup, according to sources briefed on their plans," they wrote. "One option is still a reunion with Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa, who is guaranteed $96 million through the next three seasons and would have to waive his no-trade clause."
DENVER, CO - JULY 19: Carlos Correa #4 of the Minnesota Twins hit an RBI double in the second inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 19, 2025 in Denver, Colorado.
DENVER, CO - JULY 19: Carlos Correa #4 of the Minnesota Twins hit an RBI double in the second inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 19, 2025 in Denver, Colorado.Correa has gone on the record recently admitting he either wants to remain in Minnesota or be traded to Houston; he won't waive his no-trade clause for any other team even though a return to the Astros means playing third base. Astros players reportedly want to bring him back as well.
"Correa told reporters on Wednesday night that talks with the Astros were 'not something that I think is serious right now' and sources from both teams downplayed the likelihood of a trade," they wrote. "Talks, however, remain ongoing."
If the Astros are going to add an impactful bat, a reunion with Correa makes the most sense. Just because Correa downplayed the trade Wednesday night doesn't mean it won't happen. Trades can develop extremely fast this time of year, and it's likely Houston will try to make a deal happen to fill the void at the hot corner.

Astros' Isaac Paredes will rehab hamstring injury instead of undergoing season-ending surgery
MIAMI (AP) — Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes will rehab his right hamstring injury instead of undergoing surgery in hopes of returning before the season is over, general manager Dana Brown said Monday. Paredes sustained what Brown described as a 'severe' right hamstring strain in a loss to the Seattle Mariners on July 19. He's had multiple rounds of imaging done since then and received a second opinion last week from a doctor, who told him his two choices were to rehab the injury or undergo season-ending surgery. Paredes received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his hamstring and will begin his rehab stint, which will mostly take place in Houston around the team, Brown said. He added that the immediate course of action will be a 'long period' of letting the hamstring rest before beginning any sort of exercise. 'His whole opinion on this is, he wants to work hard to try to get back this season," Brown said before Houston's series opener at Miami. "Of course, he's going to dedicate himself to getting back.' The Astros (62-50) currently lead the AL West with around 50 games remaining in the regular season. Surgery would have sidelined Paredes at least six months. 'He's doing well and he's working hard," Astros manager Joe Espada said. "He's in good spirits, and I know he would rather be on the field. We hope for the best.' Paredes was injured running to first base on a single to left field during a 7-6, 11-inning loss to Seattle. He left the game and was replaced by Zack Short. The 26-year-old Paredes is hitting .259 with 19 home runs and 50 RBIs this season. Brown said that while it is too early to know if foregoing surgery could cause lingering issues in the long run, the team was informed of NFL players who have come back with no problems after rehabbing similar hamstring injuries. 'You can come back from this injury, he said, "even though it was significant.' ___ AP MLB:

De'Aaron Fox agrees to massive $229 million extension with Spurs
The Spurs are ensuring their star guard sticks around for years to come. Point guard De'Aaron Fox agreed to a four-year, $229 million maximum extension with San Antonio on Monday afternoon, keeping him under contract through the 2029-30 season, according to ESPN. The Spurs acquired the one-time All-Star and All-NBA selection from the Kings last season. He appeared in 17 games for his new team before being shut down for the season due to finger surgery. Advertisement 4 De'Aaron Fox was traded to the Spurs at the trade deadline last season. AP Fox averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists per game in his short time in a Spurs jersey before the injury. Before being dealt to San Antonio, which was per his request, Fox averaged 25 points, 6.1 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game with the Kings. Advertisement 4 Fox will be the co-star alongside Victor Wembanyama for years to come with his extension. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post While the one-time All-Star played just five games with Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama, the two are said to have developed a close relationship and will be the leaders of a young team looking to blossom into a contender. The 27-year-old Fox will also be the leader of a young backcourt he'll share with Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper. 4 Stephon Castle starred as a rookie for the Spurs. AP Advertisement The former UConn Huskie Castle is coming off a Rookie of the Year season in which he averaged 14.7 points, 4.1 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game. Harper was the No. 2 pick in June's NBA draft out of Rutgers, where he averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game on 48.4 percent shooting from the field and 33.3 percent from deep. 4 Rookie Dylan Harper is looking to be the third straight Spur to win Rookie of the Year. NBAE via Getty Images Advertisement While all three guards are naturally ball-dominant, the 6-foot-6 frames of Harper and Castle should provide flexibility alongside the 6-foot-3 Fox, which is certainly what San Antonio is banking on with Fox's extension. Fox is entering his ninth NBA season and is just one of two players to average 20 points, five assists and a steal in each of the past six seasons, along with Luka Doncic.
