After Josh Reddick, George Springer, and Michael Brantley’s departures from Houston, the Astros are taking a look at other outfielders that might be an option for them. According to WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford, that includes Jackie Bradley Jr., the center-fielder that entered free agency after an eight-year run with the Red Sox. Based on the report, the Astros are showing “strong interest” in acquiring him.
Bradley Jr. can indeed be an option for an Astros team who might not have enough money to bring back George Springer, especially after knowing they have already discussed a new deal with Brantley.
