Do The Astros Try to Sell High? Six Names Worth Watching as the Season Progresses

For nearly a decade, the Astros have been an all-in franchise. After three bottom out years reviving the farm system and developing the talent that would lead to a pair of titles, owner Jim Crane entered maintain mode, doing what was necessary to keep the annual World Series hopes afloat. That led to seven straight ALCS appearances and several 100-plus win seasons.

This team, as currently structured, may have some real opportunities to not only continue to be very good, but also plug holes by shedding some players, as painful as it might be to see some of them wear another uniform. This is a team that virtually never trades a player in an expiring year, but the Astros may want to reconsider given the market out there for Breggy's services. The main issue they face is they literally have no one waiting in the wings to replace him. That isn't likely to be solved until the offseason, if then, but how they fill that gaping void in theof the year could be incredibly difficult.
