Astros Plan To Meet With Willson Contreras
2 years agoKen Rosenthal reported in The Athletic Tuesday that the Houston Astros have been in discussions with free-agent catcher Willson Contreras and plan to meet with him during the winter meetings. The 30-year-old proved once again to be a reliable backstop from a fantasy perspective and otherwise in 2022, slashing .243/.349/.466 with 22 home runs, 55 RBI and four stolen bases in 487 plate appearances. Rosenthal said the Astros would consider playing Contreras in left field and at designated hitter in addition to catching. Catcher is always a thin position for fantasy, so Contreras will remain a higher-end option, regardless of what team he goes to. However, his fantasy value would receive a boost if he were to join the 2022 World Champions.
