The Houston Astros could move on from their veteran reliever at the MLB trade deadline.
While Pressly is a valuable veteran, he hasn't done as well in his new role this season and a parting of ways could be beneficial for both sides.
. Another contending team that needs a closer could look to the righty with the hopes of turning back the clock to a year ago.He's bumped up the usage on his four-seam fastball and it's lost about 1 MPH on average, which has made it a lot more hittable. His normally extremely valuable slider has been getting rocked this season as well.
Batters just aren't being fooled by his pitches at the same rate that they used to, which has put a big damper on his effectiveness as someone that has thrived with strikeouts.The top available reliever was always assumed to be Oakland Athletics star Mason Miller, but it's looking less likely that he'll be traded by the day. That fact combined with the fact that more teams are in contention than eliminated and the scarce market could drive up the price of valuable pitchers.
