Rich get richer: report suggests Houston Astros could shove on starting pitching

PRESENTED BY COORS LIGHT

With reports surfacing about the Astros interest in trading for the top starting pitcher on the trade market, Reds RHP Luis Castillo, we discuss the possibility of him joining the Astros rotation, and several implications that would follow. Such as, what would this trade mean for Justin Verlander's future with the club?

Does a move like this signal that the Astros don't expect Lance McCullers to return this season? And finally, how much would the Astros have to give up? Many fans and media are expecting the team to add some offense before the deadline. Would a move like this prevent GM James Click from having enough resources to improve the lineup?

Be sure to check out the video above as we break it all down.
