Chris Carter ’s 2015 season has been a major disappointment. The 28-year-old first baseman is firmly in the midst of the worst campaign in his six-year career, and it is time for the Astros to decide his future with the team. His contract is up at the end of the year, and it is unlikely that Houston will try to re-sign him.
Carter was a 2005, 15th round amateur draft pick for the Chicago White Sox out of Sierra Vista High School in Las Vega, Nevada. After signing with Chicago, he was traded twice, and spent five years in the minors before his Major League debut on August 9, 2010, for the Oakland A’s.
