Here at Crawfish Boxes, since the end of the season, we have been exploring the possible changes that will occur on the Astros roster in 2019. Though a stellar core will remain, the Astros will also face major turnover at three, four, maybe even five positions.
Two of last year’s five starting pitchers, Charlie Morton and Dallas Keuchel, are free agents. Another, Lance McCullers, is injured for next season. The starting catcher from last year, Brian McCann, is a free agent and likely gone. Jack of all trades utility man Marwin Gonzalez is a free agent and also likely a goner.
