Korea returns to Astros after exchange with Twins

• Korea returns to the Astros after the exchange with the Twins.
• He may take the position of third base through the injury of Paredes.
• The Astros are counting on his leadership quality.

H'youston (AP) — Carlos Korea returns to H'youston, which gives the Astros a significant and well-known impact after they previously brought shortstop in Minnesota Twins ahead of the term exchange on Thursday, along with the information of the general that has the right to information.

The general, who requested to remain anonymous, since the agreement has not been announced, noted that additional terms of the agreement were not reflected in the accessible.

Korea spent his first seven years in H'youston, where he became one of the most beloved players in the history of the franchise, helping the team to reach the playoffs six times, winning three titles in the American League and the first title of the World Series in 2017 — a title that was overshadowed by a scandal involving signal theft.

The draft winner of 2012 and rookie of the year in the American League 2015 was part of the local core, which helped the Astros transform from outsiders of the league into permanent contenders.

Korea has always played in the position of shortstop throughout his 11-year career in MLB, but, presumably, will move to third base, since shortstop Jeremy Peña is close to returning from the injured list. The Astros need help at third base, since multiple-time All-Star player Isaac Paredes was placed on the injured list through a strained hamstring.

Korea, who has charisma and is a great leader in the locker room, can help gather a team that managed to stay at the top of the division, despite numerous injuries both in the lineup and in pitching staff.
