Don’t let the Houston Astros fool you

Don’t let the Astros fool you because they added Randy Wolf in a trade last week as they are likely going to be sellers next week. The Astros are 46-55 this season which has them in last place in the National League Central, 13.5 games behind the Cubs. They are also 12.5 games behind the Brewers for the Wild Card. I tend to think that the Astros traded for Wolf with the idea of flipping him for something better than Chad Reineke who they traded for him. Look for the Astros to attempt to move Ty Wigginton, Mark Loretta, Geoff Blum, Darin Erstad, Brian Moehler and Doug Brocail. They could even expand the bloodletting more if teams make solid offers for some of the core players on the Astros. The Astros don’t have a lot in the farm system as far as up and coming players so it makes sense to wave the White Flag and acquire as many good young players as they can get there hands on.
