All the talk in the offseason seemed to be about where players like Bryce Harper and J. T. Realmuto would end up signing and for how much. Meanwhile, the Astros signed free agent outfielder Michael Brantley with little fanfare. But so far, it’s looking to be one of the best signings of 2019.
Most media outlets like MLB Trade Rumors and Fancred were all predicting Brantley to get a three-year deal worth around $43 million. He ended up signing a two-year $32 million dollar contract with the Astros last December.
