Carlos Correa started asking the Minnesota Twins for a position change almost as soon as he signed his long-term extension.

Correa signed a six-year, $200 million contract with the Minnesota Twins before the 2023 season began. He was part of the Twins' first playoff series win in 21 years, and an obvious leader in the clubhouse. But with the team in fire sale mode, it suddenly made sense for him to return to his old stomping ground.

The Minnesota Twins conducted a fire sale this week, trading 10 players - nearly 40% of their active roster - including shortstop Carlos Correa.
