Astros open to specific trade ahead of spring training

With rumors surrounding the Houston Astros and the possible moves the team will make this offseason, the baseball world has been sepculating the area the franchise is looking into. While the Astros will continue to be engulfed in rumors around certain trades, general manager Dana Brown gave insight into what the team is looking into.

Brown would speak to the media on Saturday to discuss the state of Houston as Spring Training approaches closer by the day, and would talk about where the team’s interest lies. According to Matt Kawahara of The Houston Chronicle, Brown would mention a left-handed batter being an “intriguing” opportunity if it presented itself.

“If we have an opportunity (to) add a left-handed bat, I think that would be more of interest as opposed to just saying, ‘We want to get an outfielder.’ … If that opportunity presents itself and we can make some type of trade to do that, I think that would be intriguing,” Brown said.

“Astros GM Dana Brown said today, ‘we’re still having conversations about certain moves that we could make to make the team better.’ Brown specified he still has interest in adding a left-handed bat,” Kawahara wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
