One phone call last winter could’ve tied up first base in Seattle. Thankfully, it rang in Houston instead.
If you ever needed a reminder that “the best moves are sometimes the ones you don’t make,” look no further than Christian Walker in an Astros uniform.
Last winter, Peter Gammons casually dropped that the Seattle Mariners would “love” to acquire Walker. He checked every box we’ve seen this front office chase: right-handed power, steady glove at first, veteran track record.
