I think the best you can get from the Astros for Paul Goldschmidt is a good pitching prospect but probably not Whitley or James plus a player from their surplus of outfield depth. Goldy will likely not sign with anyone so close to free agency so teams cant be sure they keep him.

Rumors that D-backs star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt could be traded have been swirling for the past month.
The Athletic’s Jayson Stark told 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station‘s Bickey and Marotta on Tuesday he believes Goldschmidt will get traded and he expects it will be to one of the American League’s best teams.
“When the dust settles, [Goldschmidt] will get moved,” Stark said. “Talking to these teams, one of them told me that they bet he will get traded.
“If I were a betting man, I would say that Goldschmidt ends up in Houston. I think that’s the fit.”
The basis for Goldschmidt’s potential exit revolves around his expiring contract and the D-backs’ likeliness to start a rebuild.
