The Houston Astros had a tough task this trade deadline. Not only did Houston have a laundry list of needs, with even more being added thanks to Isaac Paredes' untimely injury, but they also had limited assets to make things happen thanks to one of the league's most barren farm systems.
Dana Brown and Co. might not have checked off every box at the deadline, but they did well to add impact players, with the biggest prize being the return of Carlos Correa. Not only will Correa bring back fond memories, but he is a more-than-serviceable option to fill Paredes' shoes, especially if his power stroke returns in the hitter-friendly confines of Daikin Park.
