Should the Astros take another flyer on Roberto Osuna?

The bullpen is costing the Astros wins. And, as we’ve said recently, the team needs help right now. In free agency, there’s a high-quality arm that has already been a member of the club, but comes with injury risk and a negative reputation: Roberto Osuna.

Could or should the Astros pay the price of another PR blow (ahem sign-stealing scandal) by signing Osuna hoping he’d be the solution to their bullpen woes?

Besides his last-year injury that kept him from the mound for most of 2020, a big reason why Osuna isn’t currently pitching in the Majors is due to his case of domestic violence back in 2018, for which he even received a 75-game suspension by MLB.
