Astros Target Christian Walker in Trade Deadline Push

Houston aims to bolster first base with Diamondbacks' star amid strong mid-season recovery.

Christian Walker is a top trade target for the Houston Astros, according to multiple reports.
The Astros seek to upgrade their first base position, where Walker's performance outshines current options.
Walker, a free agent after the season, has a .271 average and 22 home runs in 87 games.
Houston has also shown interest in Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but his acquisition may be more complex.
The Astros have won 12 of their last 14 games, positioning themselves as strong contenders in the AL West.
