A few trades and the Astros have been built for the future. Give Dana is flowers.
He has gotten:
OF Cam Smith
IF Isaac Paredes
SP Hayden Wesenski
IF Ramon Urias
OF Jesus Sanchez
IF Carlos Correa
All of these guys are here for a few more years, along with
OF/DH Yordan Alvarez
IF Jermey Pena
IF/LF Jose Altuve
OF Jake Meyers
IF Christian Walker
CP Josh Hader
SP Hunter Brown
Retooled over the course of one offseason and deadline. Heck of a job.
The Astros are pushing hard to acquire Dylan Cease from the Padres, per source. Cease was Houston's top target as of Wednesday night, and after trading for Carlos Correa and Jesus Sanchez, that is still the case.
Roughly 45 minutes left to get a deal done.
The baseball gods certainly have a sense of humor:
Carlos Correa's first game back with the Houston Astros will be at Fenway Park, playing third base against, yep, former Astros teammate Alex Bregman.
