Carlos Correa’s season-ending ankle injury could be the death knell for the Astros. It’s the left ankle this time, not the right one that caused the Mets to cancel their $315 million, 12-year agreement. Still, it’s better they don’t have seven years to go.

With 15 Astros players out, they look like a potential seller.

Christian Walker (.950 OPS) could wind up being dealt, a source said. He’d draw significant interest and be a potential Mets target, if they buy. Although, Mark Vientos is showing positive signs.

Mike Trout (.979 OPS) is back. But folks doubt he’d approve many, if any, possible trades. The Phillies are the team that makes sense for the South Jersey great. Philly is rejuvenated under new manager Don Mattingly (8-1).
