While you’ve seen the Angels or the Mets with a pretty active offseason, the Astros are on the other side. Except for some minor transactions, they’ve been pretty quiet to this point. We’re in mid-January and they haven’t filled any of their voids.
Go take a look at their depth chart and you’ll see three huge holes. No George Springer, no Michael Brantley, no Josh Reddick. And it’s even worse: there’s no one to replace them yet, not even someone from the minors. Their bullpen hasn’t been improved either, except for the signing of righty Ryne Stanek last week.
