It is no secret that the Astros need a starting pitcher for a potential playoffs run, and they are sending scouts out to many different teams to scout potential trade options. On Saturday, I jokingly wrote that there is already an Astros trade in place with the Reds in A Conspiracy Theorist Guide to Johnny Cueto and the Astros. The Astros are struggling right now offensively, and the pitchers think they need to be perfect on the mound. The offense will pick up, but the Astros can’t survive a turnstile type rotation. The San Diego Padres might have some cheap pitchers available if the Astros can give the Padres something that they want.
