The Houston Astros are expected to be buyers once again as the trade deadline season is underway with the actual red-letter date being July 31. Fortunately, as long as the Houston Astros continue to be this dominant, you can expect them to buyers for the next few seasons as they continue to tweak this fine roster in one hell of a competitive machine.
The focus of this deadline will need to be addressing the pitching needs for this team. The bullpen is extremely taxed; and luckily, the impending All-Star break will allow those tired arms to get some rest so that they’re prepared for tough battling in the second half of the season.
