In my last HOF index piece I looked at some possible deals that the Astros could make this offseason. In particular I looked at Alex Bregman and whether the team should re-sign him. In that vain, I am going to lay some possible alternatives that they could take to build a team that can compete for a division title under their current constraints.
I am working under two assumptions in this piece. First, I am working under the assumption that Alex Bregman signs elsewhere. Quite simply, this negotiation (if we can call it that) has gone the aame way as the previous ones with Gerrit Cole, Carlos Correa, and George Springer.
