The Houston Astros have reportedly stolen Christian Walker away from the New York Yankees in free agency this offseason.
The New York Yankees have long been seen as the favorites to land Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker in free agency. Why? Because the two parties are a dream pairing.The Bronx Bombers moved on from Anthony Rizzo to kick off the offseason. To replace him, they're likely looking for an affordable slugger who plays good defense at first base. Manager Aaron Boone's infield defense was horrible last season.
In fact, a deal reportedly was in place Friday to send Walker to one of the Yankees' biggest rivals.According to FanSided's MLB insider Robert Murray, Walker and the Houston Astros were in 'advanced talks on a contract.' One source said the talks were 'on the 10-yard line,' per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.Shortly after these reports emerged, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reported Walker had agreed to a deal with the Astros, pending a physical.
