The Astros reportedly have interest in former Rockies shortstop Trevor Story, along with several other teams
Yankees and Astros likely have an edge in Trevor Story pursuit as he’d play SS in either place. Two good choices since they are also winning teams. Yankees are definitely in whereas they really weren’t in on Correa. Prefer Story.

The Astros clearly aren't done making moves. After reportedly trading for Carlos Correa, the Astros front office has turned their attention to the outfield.
According to multiple reports, the Astros have traded RHP Ryan Gusto to the Marlins for outfielder Jesus Sanchez.
The Astros are acquiring OF Jesus Sanchez from the Marlins for RHP Ryan Gusto, sources tell me and @brianmctaggart. Houston lands the lefty bat it has been seeking.

Sanchez has primarily played right field for Miami this season, but he's also made starts in left and center field.
Houston GM Dana Brown has been very open about the team's need for another left-handed bat, and now they have their man.
Sanchez (age 27) is slashing .256/.320/.420 this season with an OPS of .740 and 10 dingers.
He will be a free agent in 2028, so this isn't a rental for Astros GM Dana Brown.
According to reports, the Astros are trading away Gusto, RHP Chase Jaworsky, and OF Esmil Valencia in exchange for Sanchez.
