According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, members of the Astros front office have said they plan to get “creative” when it comes to how they operate this offseason.
The insider added that Houston is looking to make trades and has “discussed” dealing right-handed reliever Ryan Pressly.
He has a $14 million salary and could help them get a prospect or two in a deal while also taking his cost off the books.
“Brown and his lieutenants have already discussed moving setup man Ryan Pressly and his $14 million salary. That it has even been floated within the industry may signal Brown’s willingness to make the sort of ‘creative’ move he alluded to earlier this winter,” Rome wrote.
