Sometimes when you ask for something, you get it. With how Tony Sipp and Francisco Liriano performed last year, Astros fans wanted a lefty for the bullpen. After the Gerrit Cole trade, there were two open spots on the 40-man roster. Many people speculated that the Astros would add another reliever.
Fans may have dreamed of Tony Watson as one of those additions, but they got another pitcher instead. According to Jake Kaplan, the Astros claimed lefty Buddy Boshers off waivers from Minnesota. If you were like me, you wondered who that was?
