Alonso is one of several players that the Astros have kicked the tires on ahead of the trade deadline.
The Houston Astros sit at 48-44 on the season, two games behind the Seattle Mariners in the AL West. As such, Houston is looking to add potential missing pieces to their roster ahead of the July 30 trade deadline.The Astros would love to add a first baseman, and Alonso is among several who could be moved at the right price, especially if the Mets fall deeper from contention after the All-Star break.
The Astros are also reportedly seeking starting pitching help. In addition to reaching out to the Mets about Alonso, Houston has also checked in on availability of starter Luis Severino. They've also inquired about Garret Crochet and Erick Fedde of the White Sox, among others. Houston has consistently been in contention in the American League over the better part of the last decade, so expect the Astros to be aggressive once again as they make their playoff push.Mike McDaniel is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where he has worked since January 2022.
