The Astros began the offseason with valid reasons to address a bullpen that posted a 12.4 percent walk rate in 2020. Only the Mets were worse in this regard. I wrote about that and how multiple impact arms were needed just yesterday right here. By all appearances this offseason, the bullpen remains priority number one to general manager James Click. Again, for good reason. The question is which of the prominent relievers left on the open market will Jim Crane open his pocketbook for this winter.
However, we will have to continue our wait to see if, or hopefully when, that actually happens.
