The Houston Astros should plan to pursue a star free agent pitcher in the offseason.
are hoping to make a run to the postseason this year. While they have dealt with more than their fair share of adversity, they have found a way to remain in playoff contention.
While the 2024 season is still the primary focus, it is never too early to look ahead at the offseason.Verlander is set hit to hit the free agency market, as is the newly-acquired Yusei Kikuchi. Houston may need to go out on the market and find more starting pitching and there is one name in particular they should pursue.Cleveland GuardiansBieber recently underwent Tommy John surgery on his elbow. However, when he's healthy, he's one of the best pitchers in baseball.
Last season with Cleveland, Bieber started in 21 games. He compiled a 6-6 record to go along with a 3.80 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP, a 3.1 K/BB ratio, and 128.0 innings pitched. He has had much better seasons in his career, but those numbers were still solid and would be a nice addition for the Houston rotation.
If he can prove to the Astros that he can get back to full health and make a big impact during his two-year contract, Houston could then work to sign him long-term.
