Summary
Houston Astros pull off a savvy trade, sending injured pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. to the Milwaukee Brewers for a minor league outfielder and $2.5M of his remaining salary, freeing up cash as the deadline looms. With a 47-51 record, they’re just 3 games behind AL West leaders Texas and still within striking distance of the Wild Card spots. McCullers, sidelined since May 13 with an ERA of 6.86, was a low-risk asset for Milwaukee, who’s surging in the NL. The Astros now have more flexibility to reshape their roster for a potential deep playoff run. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
