The Houston Astros, somewhat unexpectedly, took the trade deadline by storm this year. Most fans and experts thought the Astros could add a short-term left-handed bat and maybe an extra arm, but instead, Houston got one of the better lefty bats on the market with the addition of Jesus Sanchez, added some infield depth (Ramon Urias), and brought back Carlos Correa — a move that no one had on their bingo card until about 48 hours before the deadline. With all of that roster movement, though, comes consequences.
Despite some early struggles in the major leagues, most would still say that two of the best prospects that the Astros have at the moment are Brice Matthews and Jacob Melton.
