With Gerrit Cole set to be a free agent at the end of the year, many fans are hoping to see the Astros get a long-term deal done with Cole before he hits free agency.
Cole's agent is Scott Boras, and many Astros fans are well aware of Boras' reputation as a tough negotiator.
ESPN 97.5's Joel Blank shares his thoughts on why Gerrit Cole will decide to stay in Houston and play for the Astros for years to come.
The Houston Texans came into this draft with many anticipating they would trade up to address their need on the offensive line. Instead, the Texans elected to trade back to pick No. 34 after agreeing to a deal with the Giants.
The Texans also receive pick number 99, and a 2026 third-round selection.

When Ohio State's offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and Texas receiver Matthew Golden went off the board right in front of them, the Texans decided to go with a contingency plan, it seems.
We'll have to wait until Friday night to see what the Texans do with their picks.
