Despite the Houston Astros starting to get back on track, they could still wind up as sellers at the deadline. Could this potential trade work?
Still the Astros sit at a 21-26 record, four games out of the American League West lead but their upcoming schedule through mid-June is much easier than the guantlet they faced to begin the 2024 MLB season.
Regardless of how things shake out, one player could be moved at the deadline. Starting pitcher Justin Verlander is 41 years old, holds a 3.97 ERA this season and is in what could be the final year of his contract with Houston. The proposal sends Verlander to the Tigers in exchange for pitching prospect Ty Madden, who is currently being blocked at the Major League level. At Double-A this year, Madden holds a sparkling 2.55 ERA in 17.2 innings. However, he was promoted to Triple-A where he has struggled in 13.2 innings and holds a 9.22 ERA with a 1.98 WHIP.
