Astros make a trade to improve the bullpen as they struggle vs. Rangers

While the Astros bullpen was getting pummeled by the Rangers, Jeff Luhnow pulls off a trade. Before the game tonight, Luhnow said he was in contact with 6-7 teams trying to work out trades. He maintained that they were looking at relievers and possibly a bat.

Also before the game, Ken Rosenthal said that almost every team in the playoff hunt were looking at trading for Ryan Pressly. Rosenthal also mentioned his spin rate was the second best in the majors. When I read that, I thought that would be the perfect trade target for the Astros.
