Scheduled to enter free agency following the conclusion of the upcoming 2022 season, Ryan Pressly's services are projected to be in high demand come next winter. Admittedly, I am putting the buggy in front of the horse on this topic with a lockout still in effect. However, I would be remiss not to mention that the Astros will probably have to pay more than $10 million per season — Pressly's current annual rate — to keep the two-time All-Star in Houston in the long term.
Fresh off a season with a 2.25 ERA/2.06 FIP and 2.4 fWAR in 64 frames, Pressly has arguably never seen his stock higher during his nine-year career.
