The Astros and Yankees despite being rivals over the last 10 years or so actually match up very well in my opinion this year should Houston become sellers. They have notably been trying to slash payroll and do not commit to long term deals, something they are coming to a head at with Pena and Paredes. Meanwhile Hader's deal has bogged them down (see his value) and they actually could net something for him while he is not hurt. Enter the Yankees who can offer two basically Major League ready prospects with outstanding potential. Lombard is ranked as highly as #4 in all MLB prospects from what I have seen and would be their long term solution at SS. Lagrange, although injured, is a flamethrowing righty who has been ranked in the Top 100 the last couple of years and has been only getting better. He can also either start or close games and would be Hader's replacement or an addition to their rotation. The Astros also benefit from moving off this money to spread elsewhere and build around these guys and their other players. Rosario here is essentially a throw in to Houston to have a Vet come in and play out the rest of the year around the infield on a low cost expiring deal.
