Checking in with the moves those Astros have made.
Hard to believe, but Spring Training has arrived. In just a few days, Astros players will hit the field in West Palm Beach, Florida. Pitchers and catchers report February 16 and position players on February 21. If it seems like it was a short offseason, that's because it definitely was. That is what happens when you win it all and the season is pushed back into November thanks to a lockout.
Simultaneously, there are a bunch of Astros playing in the World Baseball Classic that runs concurrently with the first couple weeks of Spring Training. We'll dive into whether that might impact guys in those games later. For now, more pressing news with new GM Dana Brown basically offering extensions to EVERYBODY and getting at least one of them done already.For a guy who split time between the bullpen and the starting rotation last year, Javier finished the season on a roll.
Speaking of locking up layers, the new GM came in firing live rounds this week. He told members of the media he was already negotiating with players about extensions including Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve, guys no one was really thinking about for new deals. Then, on Friday, news came down that he managed to lock up Javier. Say what you will about Brown, he clearly does not mess around.
We wonder what will happen with Jake Meyers. He was the heir apparent to George Springer when he was injured in the 2021 playoffs and fell completely off the map. Then there is rookie Pedro Leon, who has absolutely destroyed at the plate in Sugar Land. He will miss half of Spring Training recovering from surgery, which probably takes him out of the mix to make the 40-man roster to start the season. But, don't be surprised to see him up in the bigs early in the year.
