Astros flirting with two failed reunions that could make things worse

The Houston Astros had quite the successful trade deadline. Though the Astros fell short in their pursuit of Dylan Cease, Houston addressed numerous holes in its lineup with the additions of Jesús Sanchez and Carlos Correa. The Astros also lengthened their bench by trading for Baltimore Orioles utility infielder Ramon Urias.

But after reuniting with Correa, rumors are beginning to swirl of Houston's interest in another reunion. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Astros had interest in trading for former ace Justin Verlander, but ultimately passed on the idea.
