Episode Details

The Houston Astros take another series, beating the White Sox two games to one, and suddenly the conversation around the trade deadline has completely changed. Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey discuss Jeremy Peña’s incredible hot streak, Hunter Brown’s dominant return to form, and why Dana Brown has made it clear the Astros will be buyers before the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline.
We also break down the latest trade rumors after the Boston Red Sox reportedly inquired about Jeremy Peña, only to be immediately turned away by Houston. Plus, what kind of bat are the Astros targeting, could Christian Walker or Cristian Javier be moved to create payroll flexibility, and what does Sunday’s loss reveal about Houston’s bullpen depth?
