Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, and Lance McCullers Jr. are currently locked in as the Astros top three starters. With Houston’s monetary constraints and the free-agent market dwindling, the #4 and #5 spots in the rotation could come from within the Astros organization. Jose Urquidy may already have the inside track for one slot, could Peacock join him?
If the Astros do decide to stand pat and go with what they already have, there are a lot of options out there.
