OF Free Agent Options Available to Astros
Mauricio Dubon, playing the OF in the 9th inning of the 2024 playoffs, dives but fails to catch a single by Jake Rogers.With Kyle Tucker on his way to Chicago, the Astros outfield is looking pretty anemic. The Astros outfield was without Kyle Tucker for July and August 2024; during those months, the Astros’ outfield posted a wRC+ of 87 and ranked as the fourth worst offensive outfield in baseball.
The Astros can hope that Chas McCormick and Jake Meyers rebound in 2025; in fact, that may be a necessity. But even if that happens, the Astros still need a good outfield bat to replace Tucker. And, it would be really helpful to acquire a left handed bat for the outfield.
