Houston Astros

Houston finds themselves tied for last place in the AL West. Their outfield production outside of George Springer has been a disaster. The outfielder the Astros got from the Brewers last year, Carlos Gomez, is injured and was ineffective when he was playing.  Colby Rasmus has eight homers, but is hitting below .230. Jake Marisnick and Preston Tucker are hitting below .200.

Milwaukee GM David Stephens certainly knows the Astros system inside and out, but would the Astros be better off selling some assets and recouping some prospects that they lost in the trades for Gomez and Ken Giles.

It’s not the outfield’s fault that Dallas Keuchel isn’t pitching like his Cy Young award self from last year and that no one in the rotation has an ERA under 4.00.

I can’t see the Astros making this type of move. If anything, they’d probably sell a player or two instead of buying one, let along a high-priced one at that.
