It’s no secret that the Houston Astros are still shopping around to add another player before Friday’s trade deadline. General Manager Jeff Luhnow said on Saturday, “I think there’s a good chance that we’ll be involved in one other deal…” according to Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle. After Luhnow strengthened the rotation by trading for SP Scott Kazmir, it seems logical that the Astros would now focus on shoring up their offense.
Which position should the team try to upgrade? First base has obviously been a black hole with Chris Carter and Jon Singleton failing to provide consistent offense.
