The Houston Astros need to add starting pitching, and one of the biggest names on the free agent market has been linked to H-Town. According to ESPN insiders Jeff Passan and Buster Olney, teams in the mix for Ranger Suarez believe he'll be the next frontline starter off the board.
The Astros already missed out on Dylan Cease after the former Cy Young finalist inked a mega-deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. Houston was hot after Cease at the July 31 trade deadline last season, but there was no way the Astros were going to fork over a seven-year, $210 million contract for a pitcher who's never even been to an All-Star Game.
