The Houston Astros star could be traded if the team doesn't figure it out before the deadline.
club. While the Astros have been one of the worst teams in baseball throughout the first 40 games of the season, they're just 6.5 games out of first place in the American League West.
6.5 is a tough task to come back from, but it's only May and if Houston gets hot, they'll be right there with the other top teams in the division. Going off history, it'd make sense if they figured it out. With a roster full of star talent on both ends of the baseball, the Astros have proven over the past decade that they're the last team to count out.In the scenario where Houston doesn't figure it out, they could look to move veterans on the team who could help contending teams.
"The 30-year-old Bregman is in the final year of a five-year, $100 million extension, and while general manager Dana Brown has talked about the desire to extend him, talks have not led to any optimism that a deal will get done," Feinsand wrote. 30-years-old, Bregman has struggled like never before this year, slashing .201/.270/.264 with one home run. His pending contract could be the reason for his sluggish start, but there's no excuses for the nine-year veteran.
