Anyone who has read my articles for the past two years knows I am not afraid to call out Houston’s front office. However, there is no doubt that this offseason has been a success. Going into the winter, the Astros had three primary issues to address. First, they had to resign Bregman or find a suitable replacement. Secondly, they needed to sign Kyle Tucker to a long-term extension or trade him. Lastly, they had to find a first baseman who could hit. Dana Brown accomplished all these goals and even addressed some more minor needs.
It would have been ideal if the Astros could sign AB to a 6-year, 150-million-dollar extension, but that is unrealistic.
