The Houston Astros could find some serious value in trading for the bat of the a struggling player with a lot of promise from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Pittsburgh PiratesHe was a deadline addition last year for the Pirates and saw a sharp decline in play after the deal was made.now has De La Cruz as the most likely Pittsburgh player to be shipped out this winter.
That leaves the Astros open to swoop in and grab a player who still has a bit of potential for a low price. A possible deal between the two teams could see Houston send prospects Zach Cole and Jackson Nezuh to the Pirates in exchange for the struggling slugger. De La Cruz posted a disappointing .200/220/.294 slash line over the final 44 games of the 2024 season. It may seem odd to trade for a guy coming off of such a cold stretch, but just a few months ago, he was on All-Star alert and on the verge of a potential 30-plus home run campaign., he had a much better slash line of .245/.289/.417 with 18 home runs and 51 RBI.The 27-year-old debuted back in 2021 and still has a lot of room to grow.
Going back to Jake Meyers, Mauricio Dubon and Chas McCormick alongside Kye Tucker would simply not be acceptable for Houston next season, so they will need to be proactive in upgrading the lineup., they could combine a couple of prospects to entice a team.He's an incredible defensive presence who can steal bases but doesn't have much promise at the plate.Nezuh looksed solid in his first professional campaign with a 4.19 ERA and 11.3 K/9.while the value is growing.
