Kyle Tucker Trade Rumors: Astros spark bidding war for All-Star amid payroll concerns

Houston Astros slugger Kyle Tucker is coming off an injury-riddled season. He fractured his shin during the year, causing him to miss 84 games during the regular season.

However, when he was in the lineup, he was elite. During 78 games, he hit .289/.408/.585 with 23 home runs and 49 runs batted in to help his club win their fourth consecutive American League West title.

Somebody like that would bring enormous trade value, and Houston knows it. According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, they are listening to offers, which could result in a bidding war.
