Offseason In Review: Houston Astros
By Steve Adams [March 19, 2015 at 3:49pm CDT]
The Astros escaped the cellar in the AL West last season, though they did so due largely to a barrage of injuries on what was expected to be a contending Rangers team. Nevertheless, Houston was a much-improved club in 2014, and they’ll likely be even better in 2015 following an active offseason.
Major League Signings
Jed Lowrie, SS: Three years, $23MM
Luke Gregerson, RHP: Three years, $18.5MM
Pat Neshek, RHP: Two years, $12.5MM
Colby Rasmus, OF: One year, $8MM
Total spend: $62MM
Trades and Claims
Acquired 3B Luis Valbuena and RHP Dan Straily from the Cubs in exchange for OF Dexter Fowler
Acquired C/OF Evan Gattis and RHP James Hoyt from the Braves in exchange for RHP Michael Foltynewicz, 3B Rio Ruiz and RHP Andrew Thurman
Acquired C Hank Conger from the Angels in exchange for RHP Nick Tropeano and C Carlos Perez
Acquired RHP Akeem Bostick from the Rangers in exchange for C Carlos Corporan
Claimed RHP Will Harris off waivers from the Diamondbacks
