The Season of COVID-Ball: Astros 2020 Preview

It feels like a lifetime (or two) ago when I attended Game 7 of the World Series last October. So much excitement, so much hope all for one game. That one game was to set the tone for the entire off-season. Heck, we all knew somewhere deep within the recesses of our souls by this point, whether we’d like to acknowledge it or not, that the upcoming winter was shaping up to be a bit turbulent with co-ace Gerrit Cole most likely leaving. Additional departures were bound to follow as flexibility with player payroll was going to be alarmingly tight, if non-existent.
