The Houston Astros are interested in the master of spin rate.
According to Marc Carig of The Athletic, the 2017 World Series champions have reached out to the New York Mets concerning Seth Lugo.
“Hearing that the Astros and Mets have recently been engaged in trade talks. Houston has shown interest in Seth Lugo and New York has been doing some background work on Astros minor leaguers. Unclear if talk has gained traction.”
Carig goes as far to claim that New York has engaged in the possibility.
Lugo, 29, is a right-handed pitcher who began his big-league career just three years ago.
