Mathews will be playing at 3rd base before the break next season. There really is no point in re-signing Bregman for half a season.
Singleton will be 33 years old next week. He is pre arbitration again next season and he is arb eligible for 26 thru 28. He will be a free agent...

Thanks for this.
Mathews numbers really stick out here.
The changes the Astros recommend to newly acquired pitchers seems to be "keep it simple stupid". Stop throwing your least successful pitch.
I was under the impression that Presley had an agreement with the Astros thru the end of this season. Next season they have a mutual option for...
