A trade for one major AL East star would be a 'dream' scenario for the Houston Astros ahead of the deadline.
The MLB trade deadline is drawing close. Teams have until July 30th at 6:00 p.m. EST to make moves. One team that has become very intriguing to watch is theAt one point earlier this season, the Astros looked dead in the water. Injuries were piling up and it looked to be a long shot that they would be able to compete for a spot in the playoffs.
Keeping that in mind, the Astros have a chance to get better at the trade deadline. There have been rumors and rumblings that they could have interest in pulling off a blockbuster trade. Looking specifically at first base, there have been a couple of major trade targets linked to the Astros. Two of them are Christian Walker and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.Guerrero would certainly be a perfect fit for the Astros. He would give them a much better chance to compete this season, while also being a potential face of the franchise for years to come.
Along with a trade for Guerrero would come a long-term extension. Houston would have to pay up to keep the star first baseman around for years to come. A new deal and a high trade price tag would be well worth acquiring Guerrero.
