I can’t believe it Houston Astros fans — the MLB trade deadline is right around the corner — just a few hours away — and we’ll be finding out where all of these rumored assets will end up in the minutes leading up to 3 p.m. CDT.
This is an all-stakes deadline as the Aug. 31 “waiver” deadline has been eliminated moving forward so I’m expecting TONS of activity because if teams don’t make a move now, they’ll be forced to wait for the winter to start their talks again with other teams.
The Houston Astros will simply not do that as the time is now for the team to continue their ascent in the majors and be the final team standing when the dust settles in the World Series.
