How the plot keeps thickening around Houston Astros, Abreu
STONE COLD 'STROS
03 May 2023
We're officially in the month of May and the Astros' biggest free agent acquisition, Jose Abreu, is still struggling mightily. Abreu is slashing .230/.260/.262 with zero home runs on the year.
Is it still too early to be concerned, or is the sample size getting big enough to be legitimately worried?
Plus, Astro legend Yuli Gurriel is playing well for the Marlins, hitting over .300 and making significantly less money. Did the Astros make a mistake when they let Yuli walk?

Right-handed relief pitcher Kendall Graveman has finalized a $1.35 million, one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team said Monday.
The 34-year-old Graveman figures to add depth to the D-backs bullpen and could compete for the closer’s role. He missed last season following surgery in January 2024 to repair the labrum in his right shoulder.
Since he switched to a full-time relief role in 2021, he has a 2.74 ERA and 193 strikeouts over 187 1/3 innings.
Graveman first pitched in the big leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014 and went on to the Oakland Athletics, Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros.
He last pitched for the White Sox and Astros in 2023, finishing the season with a 3.12 ERA over 68 appearances. He has a 37-43 record over nine MLB seasons with a 3.95 ERA and 24 saves.
