There is a large pending free agent class in Houston right now. Once the 2019 season ends, the Astros will have to determine whether or not to resign the likes of Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, Collin McHugh, Wade Miley, Joe Smith, Hector Rondon, and Robinson Chirinos.
Probably with that in mind, the club was able to extend one of the best relievers, who was also scheduled to be a free agent next offseason: Ryan Pressly.
The Astros and reliever Ryan Pressly are finalizing a two-year, $17.
