RP Rex Brothers (HOU) – Possible fits: TBR, CLE, CHW, CIN, SD
Brothers was acquired by the Astros as part of an April attempt to propel the team into contention for a wild card spot. The contending hasn’t happened for the Astros, and thus Brothers along with Romo and Pineda (both also acquired in the buying frenzy), have been placed on the block.
