Astros Eye $90 Million Deal for Santander

The Houston Astros are addressing roster changes this offseason, particularly with their rotation and outfield. Concerns have been raised about the team's reliance on injury-prone pitchers, prompting suggestions to acquire Jack Flaherty on a short-term deal to bolster their rotation (Article 1). Meanwhile, the Astros could fill an outfield void by signing Anthony Santander, who is coming off a career year and is valued at $88-100 million (Articles 3, 4). This would enhance their offensive lineup and potentially make them World Series contenders. Additionally, the Astros have seen the departure of Alex Bregman, with reports indicating that he may join either the Boston Red Sox or Detroit Tigers, despite some speculation of a return to Houston (Article 5). Meanwhile, the New York Yankees are reshaping their outfield with Alex Verdugo likely leaving, and Cody Bellinger's acquisition sets the stage for a new lineup including Aaron Judge and Jasson Domínguez (Article 2).
