Astros decline deadline deals amid wild card chase
Houston GM Tim Purpura said the Astros considered nearly every player without a no trade clause but found no deal that benefited the team short and long term. He denied a report that Maddux was traded to the Dodgers and stressed Brad Lidge remains a key asset despite recent rough outings. Lidge has given up seven homers this season and allowed a late two-run shot in a 7-6 loss to Arizona. Purpura noted multiple teams called about Lidge but no proposal matched the Astros’ valuation. He emphasized keeping Lidge to help return to form.

The New York Times reports the French antidoping lab found some testosterone in Floyd Landis’ Tour de France samples was synthetic and not produced by his body. The result challenges Landis’s defense of natural metabolism and prompts further tests to demonstrate no doping.
