On Tuesday, Jake Kaplan reported that the Houston Astros had released shortstop Anibal Sierra and outfielder Stephen Wrenn. The two are in their mid-20s, and as their production hasn’t improved, the Astros saw it be fit to release Sierra and Wrenn.

The Astros recently signed a haul of prospects on International Signing Day, while their 2020 MLB Draft was stunted by losing picks due to the sign stealing scandal.
