Michael Brantley Trade Destinations: Top 3 landing spots for injury-prone veteran 

Michael Brantley has not played yet this year due to injuries. He's been injured in the past, only appearing in 64 games last season and none thus far in 2023. He's been a complete non-factor for the Houston Astros, who are trying to become the first team to repeat as World Series champions since the turn of the century.

The Astros may be forced to cut bait with Brantley. They may not want to wait around forever, and other teams may be willing to give him a shot and see what he has left. He was pretty solid in big league action last year, so he may still be worth something.

The Texas Rangers need left field
