It's very early in the offseason and rumors certainly aren't in short supply right now, but MLB insider Jon Morosi sure made it sound like one of the biggest free agent names out there was a foregone conclusion in a recent appearance on MLB Network.
"I did some checking the last couple days to confirm that at the deadline in July, the team that was most interested in him (was) the Houston Astros….they have a significant need for starting pitching help….Especially with Framber (Valdez) being a free agent, Dylan Cease to the Astros probably has as much of a chance of happening as any other free agent prediction out there.
