Episode 2079
Join Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey for the Locked On Astros podcast as they discuss the Astros offering a qualifying offer to Framber Valdez. Will he accept? Which other players were offered them as well, and how could it affect the Astros' offseason plans? Is there a chance that Justin Verlander comes back to Houston? What's going on with Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz? WoW!!!
Houston Astros finalize major roster moves as Chas McCormick and Luis Garcia officially depart, while Justin Verlander's potential return to Houston becomes increasingly realistic. Could the 43-year-old veteran anchor a revamped rotation alongside new free agent targets?
Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey break down the Astros' offseason strategy, analyzing how MLB qualifying offers impact potential signings like Dylan Cease and Brandon Woodruff. The discussion covers Framber Valdez's $22 million qualifying offer, the shocking gambling scandal involving Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz facing 65 years in prison, and the looming free agency decisions surrounding Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman.
Key topics include why Verlander's second-half resurgence makes him a viable rotation piece, how the Astros' depleted farm system affects their draft pick strategy, and whether Houston can compete with the Los Angeles Dodgers for their star players.
Tune in for insider analysis on how the Astros plan to return to playoff contention after missing October for the first time in nine seasons.
