| 7/30/25 | Former MLB Exec Reveals Astros' Stance on Cardinals Star Nolan Arenado. The Houston Astros' plans ahead of the MLB trade deadline are clear: they want to add a left-handed bat -- preferably an infielder -- and a starting pitcher who can slide in behind Framber Valdez and Hunter Brown to start postseason games. Ideally, the batter they acquire would be able to play third base, where the injury to Isaac Paredes has created a massive void. An All-Star for the second consecutive year, he has filled in admirably for Alex Bregman, who departed in free agency and signed a deal with the Boston Red Sox.
