The Astros are prioritizing the acquisition of a left-handed hitting outfielder ahead of the trade deadline, with GM Dana Brown indicating interest in Colorado’s Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak. Following the demotion of Jake Meyers, Houston’s current outfield includes LaMonte Wade Jr., Taylor Trammell, and Cam Smith, but the team’s hitting has struggled. The Astros might also consider bolstering their bullpen and could trade players like Cristian Javier or Bryan Abreu for salary relief. Financial constraints may limit their options, as their farm system ranks low in MLB.
