With the Astros needing pitching help, it is entirely understandable that they are kicking tires on Webb. He would be a major addition to their starting rotation as they look to get into the playoffs.
With the Giants being among the bottom teams in the league this season, questions about Webb's future in San Francisco are continuing to come up leading up to the deadline. While he is signed through the 2028 campaign, now could be a good time for them to sell high on him.
In 19 games this season with the Giants, Webb has a 6-7 record, a 3.93 ERA, and 93 strikeouts. He also made the All-Star Game for the third year in a row this season, so there is no question that he would be a major pickup for an Astros club that is looking to make the playoffs.
