An MLB source tells KPRC 2 the Houston Astros have been in contact with the representation for 2023 Cy Young winner Blake Snell, confirming a report by The Athletic.
FILE - San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell works against a San Francisco Giants batter during the second inning of a baseball game Sept. 2, 2023, in San Diego. Snell won the National League Cy Young Award on Wednesday, Nov. 15, after leading the majors in ERA for the Padres, becoming the seventh pitcher to earn baseball's top pitching prize in both leagues. The free-agent lefty received 28 of 30 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Add in France, and the Astros are still looking for an immediate 5th starter, depending on Urquidy’s health. Right now, Ronel Blanco, who threw 4 scoreless innings Friday in Houston’s spring training game and Brandon Bielak make the most sense. But for a team with World Series aspirations, an upgrade becomes attractive.Murrow and Emmy award-winning sports anchor & reporter. Avid traveler, mediocre golfer.
