MLB trade deadline is just around the corner, with contending teams deciding what they need to add before 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 31. Could Jarren Duran be on the move from the Boston Red Sox? Will the Arizona Diamondbacks deal Eugenio Suarez and Zac Gallen to contenders?

In order to keep winning, the Astros should look to acquire a quality starting pitcher at the trade deadline. Hunter Brown and Framber Valdez have been excellent, but starting pitching is one of Houston’s top needs. Houston was named as one of the best fits for struggling former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara.
