The Houston Astros sent shock waves across MLB by signing the top closer on the market, Josh Hader, to a 5-year $95 million contract on Friday.
So much for the narrative that owner Jim Crane doesn't spend enough money.
Be sure to watch the video above as we discuss how this move could impact future contracts for Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, and Kyle Tucker.
Plus, we examine if this moves elevates the Astros to the top bullpen in baseball.
It's no secret, the big topic of conversation from the Winter Meetings is the Houston Astros and what the future holds for several of their star players.
Fans are starting to voice some concern about what the team could look like should they let Alex Bregman walk, and trade away Kyle Tucker and/or Framber Valdez.
Houston's social media team recently posted a video about the Astros young guns, and let's just say it didn't go over well in the comments. And the timing of this post is quite curious to say the least.
