The Houston Astros have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras, according to Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic on Thursday.
Mooney and Sharma added that the Cubs may make Contreras available to teams that missed out on Yasmani Grandal in free agency. Grandal signed a four-year, $73 million deal with the Chicago White Sox in November.
The 27-year-old Contreras is a four-year MLB veteran, and he has already been named an All-Star twice and won a World Series during his young career.
