The Houston Astros got off to a hot start in free agency by re-signing Rafael Montero and adding former White Sox slugger Jose Abreu to the mix at first base.

The Astros set their sights on upgrading catcher, but all the notable names have now been signed, with former Astros catcher Christian Vazquez agreeing to a deal with the Twins on Monday.

If the Astros are finished making moves in free agency, having not added a DH or catcher, will fans be disappointed with the offseason? And can we even make the argument that the club is better after losing Verlander?

Catch The Bench with John and Lance weekday mornings from 7-10 AM on ESPN 97.5 and 92.5.

BUCK STOPS WITH BAGGY?

New evidence that Jeff Bagwell is running Houston Astros

José Abreu had some interesting things to say regarding his signing with the Astros this past weekend... Listen to The ...

One of the surprising elements to come out of Astros Fan Fest over the weekend was Jeff Bagwell's role speaking with the media about the state of the team. The Astros have three assistant general managers that were asked to speak, all declined, leaving Bagwell to answer all the questions.

Plus, when Jose Abreu spoke at Fan Fest about signing with the club, he thanked Jim Crane, and wait for it, Jeff Bagwell.

The Astros are expected to hire a GM, and we've been seeing reports about interviews taking place. But will Bagwell remain as the mouthpiece of the organization, acting as a buffer between the new GM and owner Jim Crane?

Check out the video above as the guys from The Wheelhouse lay it all out!

Listen to The Wheelhouse weekdays from 3-7 PM on ESPN 97.5 and 92.5.
