Astros: 2 untouchable prospects at trade deadline

The Corpus Christi Hooks' Korey Lee walks to home plate against the Amarillo Sod Poodles, Tuesday, June 22, 2021, at Whataburger Field. The Sod Poodles won, 6-4.

The All-Star break is coming to a close, and while no Houston Astro was in attendance, it is time to turn our eyes to the trade deadline. The organization has made blockbuster trades before in pursuit of World Series trophy, but with James Click at the helm, will he look for a big-time starter like the Astros have in recent years?

Due to need, a rotational piece doesn’t seem like the ideal move, but an addition of someone like Max Scherzer would bolster the bullpen by moving either Jose Urquidy, Luis Garcia or Jake Odorizzi to the relieving room.
