The Houston Astros could trade for a hard-hitting, three-time All-Star from the Atlanta Braves to help fill their offensive needs before the MLB trade deadline.

If the struggling Atlanta Braves decide to trade pending free agent Marcell Ozuna before the deadline, ESPN's Buster Olney thinks the San Diego Padres would be a good fit.

The Braves are sellers. But their injury-depleted starting rotation has forced them to spend the past couple days buying from the clearance rack. The Braves acquired Carlos Carrasco from the Yankees in exchange for cash or a player to be named later on Monday.

The San Diego Padres are looking to improve their offense at the trade deadline, and they could do it by adding a veteran slugger from the Atlanta Braves. While it might not be the outfielder they need, the Padres could improve their designated hitter spot, too.

Atlanta won game one of the series, 10-7 as the offense was prevalent for both teams. Kansas City is now 5-5 since the All-Star break, while Atlanta is 3-7. The win for the Braves yesterday snapped a five-game losing streak.
