The Houston Astros are looking to add an ace-caliber starting pitcher, but Chicago White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana might prove out of their price range.
The Astros have been linked to the White Sox in recent days regarding Quintana, and Chicago has asked for right-handers Francis Martes and Joe Musgrove and outfielder Kyle Tucker in return for the 27-year-old, Peter Gammons of GammonsDaily.com reports.
That's a steep price, as Martes is considered the team's top prospect, and Tucker and Musgrove aren't far behind. The trio were ranked second, fourth and sixth, respectively, among prospects in the Astros organization by ESPN's Keith Law entering the 2016 season.
