According to the leftists at The Athletic, Houston is interested in Arizona’s starter Robbie Ray — along with several other clubs — and also inquired on Boston’s Matt Barnes.

Robbie Ray has been a gas can all year, but still kind of want.

Matt Barnes would be a nice get. I feel like he is a fastball high in the zone guy with a high spin breaking ball so that’s right up Strommy’s ally.

Sure it’s been mentioned but Dusty said Urquidy is about 10 days out, and JV isn’t where they’d like him to be, but he’s feeling good just a long way to go

Intriguing. He's been absolutely terrible this year. 7.84 ERA 31 walks in 31 innings. He's always been inconsistent and the results rarely matched his stuff. I wonder what Strom could do in a short time with him.

He's a free agent after the year and Arizona is sitting in last place at 13-19. So Arizona will have to weigh what sort of prospect offer they'd get for a month of a struggling pitcher vs holding onto him and offering him a Qualifying Offer and get a compensation pick if he leaves.
