MLB Insider Jeremy Booth, who covers the Astros closely, joins the show to break down one big question — Is Hunter Brown the Astros’ next ace?

Brown is making serious noise in 2025. His stats are up, velocity is up, and his command looks sharper than ever. He’s showing all the signs of becoming a true frontline starter. But should the Astros pay him like one?

We’re talking about Brown’s growth since last season, whether he belongs in the #1 or #2 spot in the rotation, and how his performance stacks up against other well-paid, well-deserved pitchers across the league.

Is it time Houston locks in their future ace?
