The Astros are in a unique position, because their payroll is so small this year that they aren’t a traditional seller.  They can just sit back and decide to take the best offer they get for their players or hold onto them.  But, they might get an offer that they can’t refuse for 28-year old righty starting pitcher Bud Norris.  Norris has pitched in 19 games (all starts) for the Astros so far this year and he is 6-8 with a 3.63 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP.  He has given up 125 hits and 36 walks while whiffing 81 batters in his first 114 innings for the Astros this year.  Norris has now pitched in 117 games (116 starts) in his first five years with the Astros and he is 34-45 with a 4.29 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP.  The Red Sox, Indians, Royals, Rangers, Nationals and Rockies could be calling the Astros about Norris in the near future.
