| Trade Deadline: Astros expected to sell, sell, sell | 07.05.11 at 11:02 am ET |
Not that it comes as a big surprise to anyone, but Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com report that the Astros, the league’s worst team with a 29-57 record as of Tuesday, will be aggressive sellers come the end of the month.
The only untouchables on the roster are expected to be franchise player and recently named All-Star Hunter Pence as well as right-handed starters Bud Norris and Jordan Lyles. Carlos Lee, who is owed $18.5 million next season and the balance of that figure this season, will most likely not be moved due to his excessive contract and lack of production.
Everyone else appears to be fair game, including southpaw Wandy Rodriguez (6-4, 2.97 ERA). Rosenthal has mentioned the Yankees as potential suitors for Rodriguez, who is owed $23 million combined over the 2012 and 2013 seasons. The pair also mentions Michael Bourn, the Astros speedy leadoff hitter who leads MLB in stolen bases with 35 and is considered a solid centerfielder. They list the Braves, Giants and Nationals as possible destinations for Bourn.
Rosenthal and Morosi note that a switch in ownership could be the cause for a potential firesale, given potential owner Jim Crane‘s willingness to start from scratch. However, the $680 million sale may not become official until after the July 31 trade deadline, although it is stated that the team could still trade several players regardless.
