Zack Greinke or Gerrit Cole? Who would you prefer to be your number two starter going into the 2020 season? And how could the Houston Astros make room for the max contract that is warranted?
More than a month ago, at the trade deadline, the Houston Astros rocked the baseball world as Jeff Luhnow dealt a package of highly-touted prospects that included starting pitcher Corbin Martin, relief pitcher J.B. Bukauskas, and first baseman Seth Beer for Greinke.
With landing Greinke, came high expectations and in his first six starts with the team, the 35-year-old right-hander has had more downs than ups, unfortunately, which has led to questions among the fan base as to whether the team should clear the racks to retain star pitcher Gerrit Cole.
