The Los Angeles Angels and Cleveland have reportedly been in discussion about a trade involving Mike Clevinger, but the talks have come to a stall. Maybe the Astros should get into the action and see what the Indians want for Clevinger. He’s a talented young pitcher that could fit in well with the starters.
The free-agent market for starting pitchers has thinned out considerably and if the Astros are still in pursuit of help with the starting rotation, seeking a trade might be their best option. Especially for a relatively young pitcher like Clevinger that still has a couple of years of team control left.
