CLEVELAND — Depth was central to general manager Jeff Luhnow’s design this winter, and there’s a lot in the outfield. Even with George Springer down, acquiring an outfielder doesn’t become a pressing need for the Astros.
Luhnow acknowledged, though, that the team was doing its homework as the trade deadline approaches — and that, inherently, includes the outfield market.
“July’s going to be an active month for a lot of teams and we’re going to be evaluating a lot of opportunities to see if we can help these guys down the stretch,” Luhnow said during the weekend series with the Red Sox.
