Astros Showing Strong Interest In Jackie Bradley Jr.
4 years agoThe Boston Red Sox have approached free-agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. about returning in 2020 and beyond, according to a source familiar with the situation. However, the Houston Astros are also showing strong interest, as well as an American League Central team. MLB Trade Rumors has predicted that Bradley will receive a two-year, $16 million contract on the open market this winter. He finished the shortened 2020 season strong by hitting .326 with a .985 OPS and five home runs in September, but Bradley is most attractive to suitors because of his defensive versatility and prowess in center field. Houston's interest in the 30-year-old might be a signal that they don't expect George Springer to return.
