The Houston Astros are one of three teams that are pitching a trade to the Tampa Bay Rays for their first baseman.
Díaz would most assuredly give Houston production at first base, a position the Astros have struggled at all season.
But as Tampa Bay has started selling off assets in trade the past few days, Díaz might become more attainable.The Astros released Jose Abreu earlier this season after he struggled massively at the plate. He even accepted an assignment to the minor leagues to work on his swing, but it did not help. His replacement, Jon Singleton, is batting just above .230.
Last year he won the American League batting title, made his first All-Star Game and was named a Silver Slugger. He was also sixth in MVP voting.— pitcher Jake Bloss and outfielder Joey Loperfido — along with infield prospect Will Wagner. Loperfido could have been the Astros’ first baseman of the future as he had been cross-training there in the minor leagues.
