Astros Make Offer To Hunter Pence
5 years agoThe Houston Astros have made an offer to outfielder Hunter Pence, according to MLB sources. Pence was drafted by Houston and played for them from 2007 to 2011. He's a four-time All-Star, including in 2019 with the Rangers when he hit .297 with 18 home runs and 59 RBI in a resurgent season. The 36-year-old (37 in April) also won two World Series titles with the Giants and played for them from 2012 to 2018. Despite the good season in 2019, groin and back ailments limited him, and it remains to be seen if he can stay healthy and as productive as he was in 2019. In Houston, the veteran outfielder would surely be a part-time player, limiting his fantasy appeal to deep mixed and AL-only leagues. The 'Stros already have left-handed hitting outfielders Josh Reddick, Kyle Tucker, Michael Brantley and Yordan Alvarez.
