Astros Rumors: Let the Zach Britton trade speculation begin

After Astros closer Ken Giles literally punched himself versus the Yankees, people thought that his confidence was shot. The weird thing was that this was after one of his most dominating performances on the mound the night before. He was bringing fire with his emotions and his fastball. The next day he just didn’t have it. This is when he lost his cool after allowing the first run of the game.

With the upcoming trade deadline in July, it would seem that the bullpen could be the primary focus for an upgrade. The rotation appears to be in great shape despite some offensive struggles.
