LH OF Free Agents
The Astros’ batting lineup typically has fewer Left Hand bats than most any other MLB team. This reduces the bat diversity in the lineup, since ideally 3 or 4 LH bats would provide better match ups when a tough right hand pitcher is on the mound. When Micheal Brantley returned to the lineup in late 2023, he provided the third LH bat for the lineup, playing either LF or DH.
I don’t know if the Astros have any interest or intent in re-signing Brantley, but most fans assume that the 37 year old favorite will not be returning.
