Astros: Is outfielder Josh Reddick now expendable?

Josh Reddick is currently in the middle of a four-year contract, which will cost the Astros $13 million in each of the next two years. There are several teams out there in need of a veteran outfielder and Houston has no shortage in that position, with eight on the current roster. Maybe it’s time to give Kyle Tucker the chance to prove himself and spend that $13 million where it’s more wisely needed.

Reddick, who turns 32 in February, could be considered an aging veteran in baseball terms and did show a decline in performance this past year.
