With a limited budget, the Houston Astros will certainly be shopping in the bargain bin to fill most of their holes this offseason. The club can probably afford one splash, probably coming in the form of another horse atop the starting rotation, but if they splash too much, they'll find themselves really scouring the discount aisle to solve the rest of their needs.
What exactly is a bargain, though? Is it all about a cheap price? Is it about extracting maximum value? Something else? The Athletic (subscription required) would have you thinking way outside of the box with their top "bargain" hitter this offseason.
