Houston Astros Could Target One Time All-Star as First Base Solution

With the Houston Astros looking for upgrades, they could turn their attention to an All-Star to fill a major void on their roster.

are poised to be buyers ahead of the trade deadline, once again, to fill in the few gaps on this roster so they can pursue another championship.

Unlike most contenders across the league, it's unlikely the Astros will be targeting bullpen help because they signed Josh Hader this past offseason and Ryan Pressly, Bryan Abreu, and other key contributors Jon Singleton has filled in nicely after Houston parted ways with Jose Abreu, but with seven homers and an OPS+ of 96, this lineup could still use some more pop. Behind him is star prospect Joey Loperfido, who has performed well during his limited 32-game sample size with a slash line of .261/.317/.402 and OPS+ of 104, but it's unproven if he can be an impact player in the playoffs.
