George Springer is a free agent and it has become increasingly unlikely that he returns to the Houston Astros in 2021.
This offseason is critical for the Astros. Not only are Josh Reddick and Michael Brantley free agents, but they must address holes in the rotation, bullpen and potentially replace a franchise cornerstone in outfielder George Springer. And the odds of Springer returning to Houston appear to be decreasing by the day.
