BOSTON — Carlos Correa wasn’t going to waive his no-trade clause for any other team. But when the Twins told him that they would be rebuilding for the rest of the season – and probably beyond – Correa OK’d a deal back to Houston, where he still owned the house from his first go-’round with the Astros.

"I never thought this would happen or there was a chance for this to happen," Correa said before hitting cleanup Friday at Fenway Park.
