Josh Bell is without a doubt the best rental bat on the market and as I detailed a few days ago, the Astros should absolutely have plenty of interest in him. He is having a great season and is a great fit given the issues that Yuli Gurriel has had at the plate this season. And the Astros may view him as more of a rental and could very well be interested in keeping him this winter if the money is right given that they have no clear answer at first base moving forward. Competition to get him is going to be heavy, but it is a positive sign to see the Astros as one of the teams linked to one of the better bats available.
