Part 2/7:
The New York Post's Joel Sherman has indicated that the New York Yankees are actively pursuing Tucker's trade but will face stiff competition from the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, and San Francisco Giants. The Astros appear to have shifted from merely listening to offers to actively considering them — a development that could potentially open the floodgates for trade discussions.
What Are the Astros Looking For?
If the Astros decide to trade Tucker, they are particularly interested in acquiring Major League-ready corner infielders and starting pitching. This demand sets the stage for creative trade packages from interested teams, especially as the winter meetings approach.
