Reports are that the Dodgers, the most obvious suitor for Bryce Harper, are looking to shed some of their hefty contracts in order to make the Harper price tag less crippling. Although names like Puig and Kemp have dominated the rumors, Rich Hill is a with tremendous appeal, especially for a team like the Astros.
Everybody reading this blog knows that the Astros lost 3/5 of their starting rotation from 2018. The two at the top are still there: fireballing righties named Verlander and Cole. And Luhnow and Hinch have both talked as though Colin McHugh, a rotation stalwart from 2014-2016, will be given every chance to head back to the rotation in 2019.
