All winter long, Astros fans kept waiting for that big splash trade or free agent signing. There were talks of J.T. Realmuto for catcher, maybe a big name pitcher like Patrick Corbin, and rumblings about Paul Goldschmidt at first. But as we all know, none of that took place.
It seems as though GM Jeff Luhnow wasn’t about to break the bank or fess up some of the Astros top prospects in the process. He had other plans in mind. From what we’ve seen in this first half of the season, once again, it looks like he’s made the right moves, for the most part.
