The Astros are exploring international free agency again with Maikel Minoso, a catcher from the Dominican Republic.

Without first and second round draft picks the past two years, general manager James Click has dived deep into international free agency with the help of scouts in Latin countries. More recently, even before Click took over for Jeff Luhnow, the Houston Astros looked to Cuba for most of their top international talent.

Cuban C Maikel Miñoso (16) continues to progress with his HITTING in the Dominican Republic.
