3 Players Who the Astros Should Explore Trading in Offseason

The Houston Astros had the best record in baseball over the course of the regular season, but as we know, their team will look different in 2020, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. They have some exciting young players ready to help the big league club, so who are some guys standing in their way?

Here are three players the Astros should explore trading this offseason.

Aaron Sanchez has shown flashes with the Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros that he could be a valuable pitcher, but with his injury history in just a short period of time, it's hard to bank on him ever being reliable. They are already stretched pretty thin when you look at their payroll, so saving money, no matter how much, is something they should always consider.

Roberto Osuna has been a solid closer for the Astros, but we aren't talking about an elite arm who can't be replaced. The domestic violence incident and subsequent suspension that he faced keeps coming up, something a World Series contender like the Astros shouldn't want to keep associating with. It might be almost impossible, but Houston should at least try to move on from Osuna before 2020 roles around.

How much longer are the Astros willing to block Kyle Tucker? Once again, Tucker was one of the best players in the minor leagues, but he didn't get much run with the big league team until October. To clear an every day spot in the Astros outfield, they'll need to trade somebody and veteran outfielder Josh Reddick and his $13 million for next year should be who they explore moving.
