Houston Astros Superstar Deemed Candidate To Be Traded.
A Houston Astros superstar is viewed as one of the top 10 candidates to be moved at the MLB trade deadline.
The struggles for the Houston Astros don’t look to be turning around. Currently 12-22 and 5-5 in their last 10 games, the Astros find themselves in a quick seven-game deficit in the American League West.
Given what this core has done for much of the past decade, it’s a fair assessment to assume they’ll figure it out. However, nearly 35 games into the season, things have to change for the positive at some point.
With July approaching quicker than it might seem, Houston’s front office has some tough decisions to make.
Will they move Alex Bregman, Justin Verlander, or anyone else? If they don’t plan on having a future with certain players, moving them now is the right thing to do. The Astros have multiple players who contending teams would love for a multitude of reasons.
Exploring the top 10 candidates to be moved during the trade deadline, Tim Kelly of Just Baseball listed Bregman as the No. 2 option. His No. 1 option, Luis Arraez, was traded to the San Diego Padres over the weekend.
Bregman, a first-round pick of Houston in 2015, is a two-time All-Star, two-time World Series champion, and Silver Slugger. He’s been one of the key reasons for the success the franchise has found in recent seasons but will hit free agency at the end of the season.
