November was an unusually slow month in terms of actual baseball transactions. Free agency has been a dud thus far, unless you consider Doug Fister and Yusmeiro Petit as big fish. If you do, well, I’m sorry. And the Astros will likely not be involved with any big fish this December.
That said, there will be news, rumors and transactions surrounding the Astros this month.
Tendering contracts is one order of business. Mike Fiers probably won’t be an Astro past Friday evening. Evan Gattis will likely be tendered a contract. Salary arbitration will be an actual item of discussion later on.
