Screening for Pitchers with the Right Stuff
It’s no secret that the Astros’ off-season plans will include relief pitcher acquisition. Three relievers on the 2023 team will be free agents: Hector Neris, Phil Maton, and Ryne Stanek. Maybe the Astros could muster an internal replacement for one or two of these pitchers, but likely not all three. External acquistions can...

One of the key pieces to the Houston Astros championship core could be on the move this offseason.
The Houston Astros are coming off another trip to the ALCS, but there may be major changes coming the team’s way for financial reasons.

Sometimes it is better to be patient.
If Jim Crane was willing and able to go full Steve Cohen this winter, and blow through the luxury cap, I wouldn’t be writing this article. However, the Houston Astros have payroll constraints that preclude any big splashes in the free agent market. Concurrently, the Astros have a very thin farm system and they do not have the prospects to safely trade for an impact major leaguer. This may be hard for fans to...

So, the other day, it was reported by MLB Network’s Jon Morosi that the Astros have been shopping Jake Meyers to interested clubs this offseason. That revelation by itself isn’t surprising, as Houston has an outfield surplus, and Meyers had fallen out of favor during the season’s second half. Add the fact that Mauricio Dubón had usurped Meyers as the fourth outfielder in 2023 — “designated” center fielder for...
