Houston Astros: Maldonado has a tough task ahead catching for Verlander

The Houston Astros have moved through the offseason with quite the somberness as expected amid the pending investigations of their alleged sign-stealing scheme that has been used over the past few seasons. It’s honestly tough to determine who to believe but I know teams steal signs because that’s been going on since the days of Jim Creighton.

But whatever comes out of these investigations, I’m sure the Houston Astros will be penalized and they’re probably going to have to pay a hefty fine plus lose some of their future draft picks. It’s still a sizable price to pay considering that this team wants to continue to be competitive for the foreseeable future.
