MLB Rumor Central: Astros showing interest in Athletics' Sonny Gray?

The Houston Astros have been one of the busiest teams this offseason and they are now kicking the tires within their own division.

According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, Houston contacted the Oakland Athletics regarding starting pitcher Sonny Gray.

The 27-year-old righty appeared to be on a trajectory for stardom as he compiled a 2.88 ERA through his first three years in the majors from 2013-15, topping 200 innings during the latter two seasons and finishing third in 2015 AL Cy Young voting.

But disaster struck in 2016, when Gray landed on the disabled list twice and ultimately scuffled to 5.
