The Houston Astros have told the San Diego Padres they are no longer interested in SP Andrew Cashner, according to Jon Heyman (Today’s Knuckleball).
The Astros called about Andrew Cashner with interest, then called back two days later to say they weren’t interested. It appears they decided Cashner wasn’t enough of an upgrade over No. 5 starter Mike Fiers …
Andrew Cashner, 29, has a 4.76 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 16 starts this season.
The Padres pitcher has long been a target of the Astros, but it appears as if they have finally let up.
