Astros Acquire Trey Cabbage From Angels
10 months agoThe Houston Astros acquired infielder/outfielder Trey Cabbage from the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Carlos Espinosa. The move comes after the Angels designated Cabbage for assignment last week. The 26-year-old left-handed hitter had a great year at Triple-A Salt Lake in 2023, hitting 30 home runs and stealing 32 bases, but he went just 11-for-53 (.208) with a home run, seven RBI and 26 strikeouts in his first 56 major-league plate appearances after being called up. Despite posting a 30-30 campaign, Cabbage struck out a third of the time in the minors. He'll give the Astros some minor-league depth in 2024 at first base and in the outfield. Espinosa, 22, had a 4.29 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 26 walks and 70 strikeouts in 56 2/3 innings over 15 appearances (seven starts) in 2023 while reaching Single-A Fayetteville in his first full professional season.
