The Houston Astros' potential trade for San Diego Padres starter Dylan Cease "will probably happen," according to an MLB insider.

The Houston Astros know they need starting pitching to push forward in their pursuit of the American League West, and they have their eyes set on Dylan Cease.

According to Jim Bowden, Houston is the most likely landing spot for Padres starter Dylan Cease as we enter the final day before the deadline. It's a logical move — the Astros need starting pitching help as their roster continues to be wrecked with injuries, and the Padres could surely use a prospect or two in their infamously shallow farm system.
