USA Today Gives Astros Offseason Grade
USA Today has graded the Houston Astros for their offseason production.
In this story:
USA Today handed out offseason grades for every Major League Baseball team in a piece published by Bob Nightengale and Gabe Lacques.
The grades take into consideration all offseason trades, signings and transactions.
The Houston Astros were given a B- and here’s why according to the piece:
“They can survive Justin Verlander’s defection. Striking early for slugger Jose Abreu – at $68.5 million – will be an interesting referendum on owner/temporary GM Jim Crane’s acumen.”
The Astros have since hired Dana Brown as GM
