The Houston Astros are looking for another arm for the starting rotation before the July 31st MLB Trade Deadline, and it appears the San Diego Padres' Tyson Ross and Andrew Cashner have caught the front office's eye.
Per Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres have engaged in preliminary discussions with the Padres regarding a potential deal or two:
"Ross and Cashner have an obvious connection to Astros manager A.J. Hinch, an assistant GM for the Padres until Preller’s hire last August…So far, however, discussions between San Diego and Houston appear to be a matter of diligence.
