According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Astros were looking to land a Minnesota Twins reliever at the trade deadline, with an eye on Griffin Jax, a right-handed reliever. But, they weren't pursuing him alone; he would've been a part of the Carlos Correa blockbuster.

Initially, the Twins didn’t know if they’d find the right return for their elite setup man because of a slow-developing market.

The Minnesota Twins have traded nearly 40% of their team this week, including Carlos Correa​ and four high-leverage relievers.
