Astros Acquire Varsho for Playoff Push | Houston Astros News

The Astros just pulled off a savvy trade, acquiring Daulton Varsho from Toronto to instantly upgrade their outfield defense and batting lineup. Varsho, a Gold Glove winner with power and postseason experience, is already in the lineup—hitting fourth and playing center field—showing Houston’s confidence in him. While he’s a free agent after this season, his potential to rebound in a new environment makes him a smart short-term fix. In return, they shipped out pitcher Spencer Arrighetti, who’s been solid but wasn’t as critical as outfield help for a team chasing playoff glory. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi called it a shrewd move that fits perfectly into Houston’s playoff push. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
