Astros Trade McCullers for Gordon | Houston Astros News

The Astros just pulled off a savvy trade, sending veteran pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. to the Brewers for young lefty Colton Gordon — a move that clears salary while adding a promising prospect with upside. Gordon, a 2021 draft pick making his MLB debut, may not have flashy stats yet, but his strikeout ability and future potential make him a solid fit for Milwaukee’s playoff-bound rotation. It’s a classic baseball win-win: Houston sheds a big contract, and the Brewers gain depth and development potential — all while keeping their postseason momentum intact.
