## Resource

The Astros are in freefall, losers of three straight and six games under .500, but they’re still alive in the wild card race — and their GM is pulling the trigger on risky moves, trading away young talent for veteran arms, all while juggling his own contract and the team’s future. With a shallow farm system and leadership on the clock, this could be the season they either claw back or gamble away their legacy.
