Jose Altuve was surprised to see longtime teammate Carlos Correa leave the Houston Astros to sign a three-year, $105 million deal with the Minnesota Twins.

"I was surprised. I wasn't expecting that," Altuve said. "Obviously we're going to miss him. He's a great player and a great guy inside the clubhouse. He was one of our leaders."

There had been reports that the Astros reopened negotiations with Correa about a new deal last week.
