Dana Brown Is Buying: Ten Teams Called About Jeremy Peña and Got Told No, Plus Back-to-Back-to-Back in Toronto

Ten teams called the Houston Astros about Jeremy Peña. Every single one got turned away. Dana Brown and Jim Crane looked at a roster sitting under .500, three and a half games back of Seattle in the AL West, and said we're still in this. Peña is not available. Neither is Christian Walker. The Astros are buyers.
Also this week: Yainer Diaz, Cam Smith, and Taylor Trammell — three injury returnees — hit back-to-back-to-back home runs off Shane Bieber in the fourth inning in Toronto. Trammell's shot reached the 500 level at Rogers Centre. Only 25 balls in stadium history have ever gotten there. Then Joey Loperfido won it with a walk-off in the 11th. Tatsuya Imai struck out 11 without a walk. And down in Fayetteville, Anthony Huzo, Xavier Neyens, and Kevin Alvarez hit back-to-back-to-back home runs — the first in franchise history.
Prospect Spotlight: Kyle Walker — the 8th round pick from Grambling State who transferred to Arizona State and is quietly becoming one of the more interesting bats at High-A Asheville.
