Those of you who have followed the Houston Astros coverage at CTH have probably wondered why we haven’t had a flood of Astros trade ideas articles this July like we did last season. Every time I sit down to write a trade idea, it’s hard to find a piece of the team that really needs an upgrade that is not in the system. I will still look at trades, but I really am starting to feel that there will be no major trades this year.
One thing that makes me wonder if there will be any trades this year is that there has been very little chatter this year about Astros trade rumors.
