Dylan Cease is still an option for the Astros as the MLB Trade Deadline nears, but Sandy Alcantara is a player to watch as well.

This article was originally published on www.si.com/mlb/astros as Astros Reportedly Interested in Multiple Cardinals Hitters, Trading for Dylan Cease. The Houston Astros have started to get to work with the trade deadline quickly approaching.

Cease could just be a half-year rental because of all the starting pitchers on Houston's injured list. The Astros have a full rotation sidelined. Lance McCullers, Luis Garcia, Ronel Blanco, Spencer Arrighetti, Cristian Javier and J.P. France are all on the injured list.
