Part 1/7:
Christian Walker Joins the Astros
The Houston Astros made headlines this offseason with the signing of first baseman Christian Walker to a three-year, $60 million contract. Chandler Rome provided insight into this significant move during a discussion about the team's evolving roster strategies.
Walker’s deal, confirmed shortly before the interview, comes with the standard caveat of pending a physical. The signing marks a pivotal change for the Astros as they prepare to part ways with the face of their franchise, Alex Bregman. The strategic shift suggests a planned pivot from Bregman’s departure, which could have been on the team's radar for quite some time.
