In the wake of the Astros trading Jake Marisnick to the Mets, the question remains as to whether they may also trade Josh Reddick this offseason. They don’t necessarily have to trade him now, but could certainly use some extra payroll space.
Looking into Jeff Luhnow’s comments following the Marisnick trade sheds some light onto their plans. He noted that Myles Straw would be the biggest beneficiary, which makes sense. Straw provides the defense and speed they had with Marisnick, and he does it at a cheaper price.
