MLB Rumors: Astros To Be Interested In Veteran Pitcher This Offseason

The Houston Astros have consistently expressed interest in veteran southpaw Matt Moore, both during last winter's free agency and when he hit the waiver wire this season, according to MLB Trade Rumors.

While their attempts to acquire Moore were unsuccessful due to being outbid by other teams, including the Los Angeles Angels and the Cleveland Guardians, their pursuit of his talents remains unwavering.

With the baseball season progressing and the Astros grappling with a late-season slump, the prospect of acquiring Moore in the upcoming offseason becomes increasingly enticing.
