MLB’s trade deadline is less than four weeks away, and it might not be long before the rumor mill kicks into gear.
When it comes to the Astros’ deadline plans, it’s known that they’ll be among the clubs looking to buy. What’s unknown is how exactly the front office will attempt to upgrade the roster. Not because James Click and his staff are an unpredictable bunch, but because the Astros are one of the most complete teams in baseball. Collectively, the offense ranks second in wRC+ while the pitching staff is third in ERA.
