There are a lot of baseball teams that could use free-agent lefty Dallas Keuchel. The Angels, Astros, Athletics, Braves, Brewers, Padres, Phillies, Twins, and White Sox are clubs that should consider signing Keuchel. One could probably argue for more teams to jump into the fray for the bearded southpaw’s services.
Well, it looks like Houston is continuing to gauge Keuchel’s market.
Per Buster Olney of ESPN, the Astros and Keuchel have had “recent dialogue” about a new contract, but nothing has materialized at this point.

From a pure baseball standpoint, Keuchel would only solidify Houston’s rotation, especially with Charlie Morton in Tampa and Lance McCullers on the Injured List for 2019.
