It would prove one thing, they have the talent.
 
Jordy Mercer is still available. Would it be wise to bring him back again, as a middle infielder he should have much to share, the young players.

His contract includes an opt-out clause after the 2020 and 2021 seasons, which could allow him to re-enter free agency after a strong season.

Astros may stumble under the weight of the pressure surrounding their cheating. Or they might get mad and win like crazy.

My guess is they will stumble a bit .. and not win 100 games. But should still win 92+ games.

Either way .. my hunch is they will lose in the playoffs. If this holds true, ..might be a good thing for them to hire Brad Ausmus. Then their fans can blame Brad for a disappointing season.

Vargas agrees to Minor League deal after stint in Japan.
Tigers official site

First baseman Kennys Vargas has agreed to a minor league contract with the Tigers, Jason Beck of MLB.com tweets. The deal does not include an invitation to major league spring training. The hulking Vargas will now join his second AL Central organization, having appeared in the majors with the Twins from 2014-17. He played for Ron Gardenhire, then the Twins? manager and now the Tigers? skipper, as a rookie. Vargas posted respectable offensive production at times in Minnesota, including in his first and third seasons, but owns a mediocre overall line of .252/.311/.437 with 35 home runs in 859 lifetime MLB plate appearances. The 29-year-old also hasn?t been great at the Triple-A level, where he has hit .244/.352/.436 and totaled 51 HRs over 1,297 PA, and he?s now coming off a rough 2019 campaign spent in Japan. As a member of the Chiba Lotte Marines, Vargas stumbled to a .179/.324/.274/ mark and managed just one homer in 102 trips to the plate.
