A report from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic on Tuesday said the Houston Astros had "entertained" the idea of trading star shortstop Carlos Correa to trim payroll.
On Thursday, the team's general manager, Jeff Luhnow, refuted those rumors, telling reporters he spoke with Correa on a phone call while the shortstop was on his honeymoon.
"Enjoy your honeymoon and don't read trade rumors," Luhnow told him, per Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle.
"I reassured him he's an Astro," Luhnow added.
