It may be so dull that Jeff Luhnow and his entourage packed up and went to Detroit to have a change of scenery. Kidding there, but I don’t think the Astros will target any hitters before the August 1st trade deadline, with one exception. No, sorry Astros fans, I don’t believe that they would go after Jay Bruce, even though he would make the most sense.
According to Jerry Crasnick, the Houston Astros are one of five teams that have been linked to Jonathan Lucroy. Crasnick says that the Rangers, Indians, Astros, Mets, and Red Sox have shown interest in trading for the first base/catcher Lucroy.
