## Resource

Houston Astros trade injured ace Lance McCullers Jr. to the Brewers for young outfielder Jayden Fielder, signaling a payroll reset as the trade deadline looms. McCullers, a key piece of the 2017 and 2022 World Series champs, has battled shoulder issues and multiple surgeries, including Tommy John, since his 2021 All-Star season. Despite recent rehab outings showing promise, his 2024 stats have been rough. The Astros, still playoff contenders, are clearing space while keeping Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa as the last remnants of their championship core. Colton Gordon, also heading to Milwaukee, hasn’t impressed this season. It’s a bold move — McCullers gets a fresh start, and Houston reshapes its roster for the second half.
