Could the Houston Astros actually send Kyle Tucker packing via a trade with an NL contender?
Unfortunately, injuries have been a major setback for Houston this season. Just recently, they were forced to lose both Cristian Javier and Jose Urquidy for the rest of the season. That has led many to wonder whether or not the Astros could become sellers ahead of the MLB trade deadline.
Tucker is one of the more intriguing potential trade options for opposing teams. He is one of the best outfielders in baseball and would have a long list of trade suitors if the Astros chose to make him available.In his suggested trade idea, Pressnell would have Tucker head to the Braves and Houston would get right-hander Hurston Waldrep, shortstop Nacho Alvarez Jr., and right-hander Darius Vines.
Alvarez is the best position player in the Braves' farm system. He is just 21 years old and is already looking like a major threat at the plate in the future. Giving up Tucker would be a brutally tough decision to make. He has had a big year so far, batting .266 to go along with 19 home runs and 40 RBI. He has also stolen 10 bases this season.
