The Houston Astros made a strong effort to bring in a top of the rotation pitcher this offseason. Fans were expecting Chris Sale, Chris Archer, or Jose Quintana. Instead, they bring in Charlie Morton on a two-year deal for $14 million. This caused a lot of head shaking around Astros Twitter. A total Stros move right?
Some could relate this to a Scott Feldman like deal, but for far less money and years. Morton is a better pitcher than he has demonstrated during his career with injuries and inconsistencies.
