Houston Astros starter Framber Valdez is on his way out of Space City. While Houston will likely extend a qualifying offer to their sterling left-hander in a few weeks, the odds of Valdez re-signing with the Astros is slim to none.

While the Astros fell apart down the stretch, the Mets' collapse was one of the most confounding things to ever happen to a World Series contender.
