Welcome to the 2016 MLB Winter Meetings, where all the best minds get together to try to out-smart the other guy. The Astros are at 40 players on their 40-man roster after signing Carlos Beltran and claiming Ashur Tolliver off waivers yesterday. With Jeff Luhnow saying that he is still looking for pitching and the upcoming Rule 5 draft, someone may have to be removed.
The offseason goal was to add some more proven left-handed bats to this lineup. By doing so, it has caused a clog of blocked players in the minor leagues.
