Astros Talking To Michael Brantley About A Return
4 years agoThe Houston Astros are talking to free-agent left fielder Michael Brantley about a return in 2020. The 33-year-old hit .309/.370/.497 with 27 home runs in 194 games after signing a two-year, $32 million deal with Houston before the 2019 season. He hit .300/.364/.476 with five home runs and 22 RBI in 170 at-bats during the shortened 2020 season. The Astros may be planning for life without George Springer (also a free agent) moving forward, so they'd like to bring Brantley back if that's the case. Houston is also looking at free-agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who would be a fine center field option if Springer leaves in free agency.
