Houston Astros Reportedly Have Expressed Interest in Veteran Star Pitcher

The Houston Astros need pitching reinforcements and are looking at an NL Central pitcher.

in the AL West, they started to gain ground and now sit in first place in the division. Looking to reach their eighth straight ALCS, the Astros need to bolster their rotation to accomplish that.

While Hunter Brown has pitched well as of late and Ronel Blanco has been a revelation, the Astros still need innings from the rotation.The 32-year-old fits the criteria for what they are looking for, being an established starting arm who can wrack up innings. In each of the last three seasons, he has thrown at least 140 frames, including going over 150 in the last two.

He also comes with the added bonus of multiple years of control. Before the 2023 season, he signed a four year, $68 million deal with the Cubs, so he will still have two more years under contract after 2024.
