As the Astros head to Toronto to face the Blue Jays, it's hard not to revisit the club's offseason trade of Jesús Sánchez for Joey Loperfido.Loperfido's struggles this season, coupled with Houston's lackluster offensive production from the outfield, have made the deal increasingly difficult to defend. Recent comments from Astros GM Dana Brown only add to the conversation, as he acknowledged the team could be in the market for a left-handed bat capable of playing the outfield — a description that sounds awfully familiar.The trade's impact extends beyond Sánchez. Mauricio Dubón's big year with the Braves also comes to mind, as he was moved in an offseason deal widely viewed as a salary dump, much like Sánchez. As Houston searches for answers in the outfield, those departures are becoming harder to ignore.Be sure to listen to the as The A-Team's Adam Clanton and Adam Wexler break down the Sánchez trade and examine how it continues to impact the Astros, both in the short term and for years to come.
