The idea of the Houston Astros pursuing Yoenis Cespedes could be a moot point if the veteran outfielder declines his option to enter the free agent market this winter. Again, that is a big if.
Thanks to the contract that the New York Mets gave him last offseason though, Cespedes has the freedom to choose where to go once again this winter. And the Astros could be a potential landing spot if the stars aligned.
However, this does raise the question if the Houston Astros should pursue the veteran outfielder?
First, it would take a massive financial commitment to sign Cespedes.
