The 2026 MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and barring some minor league callups, this is essentially the team the Houston Astros will be going to battle with the rest of the season. Houston had clear deficiencies coming to the deadline. AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementThe Astros had stated clear agendas for the trade deadline: a left-handed hitting outfielder who could impact the lineup, a starting pitcher who could stabilize the rotation, and a right handed reliever who could handle some leverage innings. He is also a below average offensive player with a career batting average under .230 and career OBP under .300. The Houston Astros are listed at +115 to win the AL West division and +3000 to win the World Series on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
