Astros: Wade e-mail to Wren, July 6, 2:42 p.m. CDT – Frank, hope all is well. In advance of the [trade] deadline I want to give you a general sense of where we are. We’re open-minded on just about anything. Looking for prospects, closer to the big leagues the better. Let me know if anything makes sense.
