Sonny Gray, who will start Tuesday against the Astros, probably will be dealt in the next six weeks and one of the more realistic landing spots for the A’s ace is….Houston.
Industry sources have mentioned the Astros in connection with Gray for weeks, there is zero doubting Houston’s interest, and the A’s front office has had no qualms dealing within the division. Especially with Houston, a frequent trade partner, including two years ago at the deadline when Oakland sent Scott Kazmir to the Astros. Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow just so happens to be in town for this series.
