It sounds like the Houston Astros are taking a hard stance on what they are going to do at the trade deadline this year.
have not had the season that everyone expected after they went out and handed Josh Hader a megadeal that pushed them into the luxury tax threshold for only the second time since Jim Crane became the owner.
At the time, it was seen as strange considering there were areas they could have upgraded to assist them in their pursuit of another championship, and ultimately, Crane agreed and gave his front office the green light to add players. General manager Dana Brown previously said he didn't envision a scenario where that would happen, and expected the Astros to have a hot stretch of play where they would find themselves in the playoff mix, but that largely hasn't happened.
"I've seen teams blow leads from five games up to seven games up in September. In Atlanta when we won the World Series, we didn't get to .500 until game 100. I don't foresee us being sellers at all. We're going to grind it out. I think we're going to get back to .500 before people know it and we'll be back in the race," Brown added.
