With the trade deadline quickly approaching, the Astros have some room for improvement in several key areas.
With that in mind, should the team covet bullpen help over a left-handed bat, with Yordan Alvarez and Jose Altuve expected back soon to give the offense a lift?
Considering the massive amount of innings already piled up by Astros relievers, and the underwhelming performances from Rafael Montero and Ryne Stanek, one could argue that adding to the bullpen could be just what the doctor ordered.

And because you've been good, we'll let you know who we think the Astros should consider below.

It's no secret, the big topic of conversation from the Winter Meetings is the Houston Astros and what the future holds for several of their star players.

Houston's social media team recently posted a video about the Astros young guns, and let's just say it didn't go over well in the comments. And the timing of this post is quite curious to say the least.

Which begs this question. Are the Astros doing what's necessary by moving on from players they don't believe they can re-sign, or are they on the verge of some big mistakes?
