I just keep thinking if it's another major leaguer we'd known by now

At least 51.1 M.

I would assume we're paying ~75 M.

I said this earlier but I feel like they're a buyer at every deadline. You'd think their farm system would be depleted by now

75 for 3 years. absolutely ok with that

(Not a troll, I promise, just my honest opinion)

Having watched Correa in person for ~60 games over the past 3 years, I am not sure that this is a great deal for the Astros. The guy who left 4 years ago is not the guy who is coming back.

Unconfirmed report is that the Twins cheapskate owners agreed to pay $50 million of Correa's salary. If you value 1.0 WAR at roughly $8 million, Correa needs to produce slightly over 6.0 WAR over the next 3+ years to make this a break even deal on value for salary. I think that is a plus/minus proposition: he is at 0.1 bWAR for the year.

Moving to third will help his defensive rating stats some.
