Major League Baseball is in full recess for the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game, we will not have commitments until next weekend, these days are ideal for those players who have been dragging injuries and accumulated fatigue, since there are more than 90 games that have been played so far plus the preparation games before the start of the 2024 season, Those who do not rest are the managers in the different offices of the teams that make up the MLB, since there is little more than two weeks left until the end of the period that allows players to change directly between the franchises involved, some teams will end up leaving their main players, while others will look for the best players available to strengthen their payrolls in order to achieve a place in the postseason.

One of the teams that will be moving to get the best pieces available to strengthen their roster are the Houston Astros, for no one is a secret that the Astros suffered a strong casualty with the departure of Cuban Jose Abreu, who came to the team in 2022 to be in charge of the first cushion of the Texan team, but unfortunately the offensive performance of this player was not the same as he had been doing with the Chicago White Sox and was released by Houston, hence the importance of looking for a player with the characteristics of Abreu in order to improve the offense and defense of the sideral club, there are some names that sound strongly, one of them is the Dominican Vladimir Guerrero Jr. but in the end the last word will be with his current team, the Toronto Blue Jays.

Although the Astros offense has not been the same during this first half of the season compared to previous years, they have shown signs of recovery, hence the importance of strengthening the offensive department, we already talked about the need to get a player capable of covering the initial in a good way and can also contribute when it comes to bringing runs, But for my taste it is also necessary to bring a good outfielder to bring more speed and can make a fearsome duo with Jose Altuve, an excellent candidate would be Andrew Benintendi, who currently plays with the Chicago Browns, no doubt can be a luxury addition to the Astros, then you can say that to improve the offense you need an outfielder and a good offensive first baseman that would also give stability to the defense of this franchise.
Por eso creo que también deben buscar a un par de brazos que los ayuden en los episodios intermedios, en conclusión lo ideal sería traer a un inicialista y jardinero en la parte ofensiva y defensiva, para el pitcheo a por lo menos un abridor y par de relevistas que puedan trabajar después que los abridores se marchen, en las otras áreas los veo bastante sólidos y ahora que están a tan solo un juego de los Marineros de Seattle en el oeste de la liga Americana, se van a mover para fortalecer esas áreas del juego que tienen alguna debilidad.

At the pitching level they have managed to overcome some obstacles, but if you want to compete in the postseason you need a good rotation and a solid relief pitching, getting at least one good starter will be one of the main tasks of the management, although I am clear that this will be the strongest job for the board, as they do not abound much in the teams that apparently will be the sellers this year, although they have one of the best closers, as is Josh Hader, they also have shortcomings in the middle pitching.
That is why I think they should also look for a couple of arms to help them in the middle innings, in conclusion the ideal would be to bring a starter and outfielder on offense and defense, for pitching at least one starter and a couple of relievers who can work after the starters leave, in the other areas I see them pretty solid and now that they are only one game behind the Seattle Mariners in the American League West, they will move to strengthen those areas of the game that have some weaknesses.
