Astros continue to look for pitching depth with option years. Thursday night the Houston Astros made a couple of roster moves as GM Dana Brown continues to look for pitching depth that still have options available on the contracts.

The offseason focus for the Houston Astros has been quite clear. Pitching, pitching, and more pitching. That was the biggest need after failing to make the postseason for the first time since 2016.

The Houston Astros believe they can tap into an outfielder who has spent his entire career in a division rival's organization.

The Astros, in their long history, have never had a player hit four home runs in a game. Perhaps nobody has come closer, though, than Vinny Castilla, who slugged three homers on July 28, 2001, in the first game of a doubleheader at Pittsburgh.
