Houston Astros: Pitching should be top priority amid start of GM Meetings

Houston Astros fans — it’s the offseason and the team will be tasked with trying to keep this team competitive for yet another World Series in 2020. This upcoming season will present unprecedented challenges to keep this team together as the core group of players are more advanced in their careers and they’re likely going to be commanding more money.

Justin Verlander‘s two-year, $66 million deal kicks in this season along with Alex Bregman‘s six-year, $100 million contract extension so a lot of extra salaries will be on the books this season.
