Astros trade rumors

The Houston Astros, after a rough start, are now a top contender in the American League West, just 2.0 games behind the Seattle Mariners. They are looking to strengthen their team at the trade deadline, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. being a potential target. Pitching is a priority for the Astros, and they are rumored to be interested in acquiring Jack Flaherty. Despite previous talks of being sellers, the Astros now aim to be buyers, focusing on adding multiple pieces, especially in the pitching department, to solidify their playoff position and potentially make a World Series run.
