The Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins are still conversing in a deal that involves Carlos Correa, but complications in the shortstop's contract have made it difficult.

Carlos Correa says discussions about a trade from Minnesota back to Houston before Thursday's trade deadline aren't serious,"but he didn't rule out the possibility of returning to the city where he won a World Series.

The Houston Astros know they need to fill a void left by Isaac Paredes, and they continue to push for a reunion with infielder Carlos Correa.
