International deals are always estimated until they become official and, according to the rumor mill, the Yankees caught the Astros sleeping on Wednesday and swiped one of their top targets.
The Houston Astros, somewhat famously, filled their entire infield months ago, adding first baseman Christian Walker in free agency and slugging third baseman Isaac Paredes in the Kyle Tucker trade.
Yankees pitchers dominated the Astros lineup until the ninth inning, where New York allowed five runs, including a walk-off, three-run home run in their 5-2 loss to Houston on Saturday night.
