With the first month in the books, the Houston Astros are slowly taking shape. Let’s look at some pieces that could help further their production.

It’s the turn of the page. Chapter One is done, onto Chapter Two. The first leg of this marathon for the Astros is done, and April only brings new life to the baseball world.

As the season lingers on, there is always work to be done when trying to craft the perfect team to enter into the Holy Season that is October Baseball. The Houston Astros, definitely have some holes they could fill.

Here at CTH, our writers have been speculating tirelessly on who could come in, produce, and turn this team’s woes around. Tomas and Brian already covered both Marcus Stroman and Madison Bumgarner in some fantastic pieces. So for the sake of not repeating, let’s dive into a few different names who could be had at the trade deadline.

Also, this piece won’t speculate on specific names who should be shipped off. It will take a simple dive into how the mentioned players could fit the Astros team, and what the other teams would be looking for position wise as compensation.

LET’S GO!
