Today in Houston Astros History: The Astros sign a free agent, and we are about to witness……
Some light has been shed on what the Houston Astros are going to do this offseason. General manager Dana Brown was very open in what the priorities for him and his front office will be.
While other teams are looking to make major splashes to get superstar talent onto their rosters, the Astros don’t have that need.
They’re loaded with homegrown stars who have championship experience and are poised to compete for yet another World Series title.
In order to make that happen, an area that Houston will be chasing is the backup catcher role to support Yainer Diaz throughout the 2024 season after the departure of Martin Maldonado in free agency.
There’s also a chance that the Astros and their veteran catcher could agree to a deal this offseason as well.
Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports, “There remains mutual interest between the Astros and Maldonado in a reunion.”
