Each day, the Astros seem to be connected to a new outfielder. Now, they’re reportedly interested in Yasiel Puig, who hasn’t played in MLB since 2019.

The Houston Astros are interested in retaining George Springer and Michael Brantley. They have expressed interest in free-agent center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. And there is an increasing sense that general manager James Click is casting a wide net, both via trade and free agency, as he searches to remake the teams outfield in 2021 and beyond.
