The Miami Marlins were actually very quiet at the MLB trade deadline, only trading Jesus Sanchez to the Houston Astros. Well, with the deadline now over, the Marlins have swung another deal with the Astros.
The Houston Astros failed to get the pitching help that they wanted at the trade deadline, which passed last Thursday without a single new pitcher coming into Houston.
The Houston Astros have added to their roster despite the passing of the trade deadline. While the Astros are locked up in an important series with the Boston Red Sox, the front office is seemingly looking for ways to improve.
The Astros have acquired left-hander John Rooney in a trade with the Marlins, as relayed by Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The Marlins are receiving cash considerations in return.
