The Houston Astros are targeting a center fielder, specifically Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham, to enhance their outfield stability. Grisham, who hit 34 home runs in the 2025 season, struggled in 2026 with a.211 average but remains a candidate for an everyday role in Houston. The Astros previously dealt with inconsistencies in left and center field and may offer Grisham a short-term contract to revive his performance. Their need for a reliable center fielder drives this pursuit as they look to solidify their roster for the coming season.
