Astros’ trade deadline shift makes one thing very clear about their rotation

It’s impossible to talk about the 2025 Houston Astros without discussing the litany injuries incurred by this year's team. No matter where you look, there’s a part of the Astros’ roster that’s been limited by some kind of injury. But new comments from Astros GM Dana Brown seem to signal things could be turning around soon.

Brown held court with the Astros’ beat writers earlier this week and said the team will be “prioritizing the bats” at next week’s trade deadline. That makes sense since the Astros are down multiple position players, but it’s also a bit surprising considering all the other needs the team has.
