They had a great team, yet they still missed the playoffs due to a horrible collapse.<\/p>\n<p>They need to make a move to put themselves at the top of the AL West once again. Fansided\u2019s Christopher Kline believes they can by pursuing Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Three Red Sox that will be up on the trade block this offseason after brutal Wild Card series loss to Yankees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBader has a history of high highs and low lows, but he&#8217;s clearly a talented individual who can meaningfully move the needle for a contender. Houston dealt with a talent shortage in the outfield all season\u2026Houston can plug Bader into the lineup as an everyday vacuum cleaner in centerfield and a potential leadoff bat. At worst, he&#8217;s a solid back-end hitter and five-tool contributor with especially strong production against lefties\u2026The Astros need the outfield depth, plain and simple,\u201d Kline wrote.<\/p>\n<p>This season, Bader slashed .277\/.347\/.449\/.796 with 17 home runs and 54 RBI in 146 games. He provides reliability, consistent offense, and a Gold Glove in the outfield.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Twins get positive news about four-time World Series Champion as possible Rocco Baldelli replacement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He would be a great center fielder for the team, and pairing him with Cam Smith, Yordan Alvarez, and Jake Meyers, the Astros could have one of the best outfields in the MLB.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the Astros get in contact with Bader as soon as the offseason starts, as he could be the first step in putting themselves back in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE\u00a0MLB\u00a0NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yankees $80 million MVP predicted to cut ties with team; will join Pete Alonso in testing free agency<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mariners predicted to pursue $54 million five-time All-Star if they fail to re-sign Josh Naylor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nationals predicted to replace interim skipper Miguel Cairo with former Manager of the Year<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This would be a solid pickup for the Astros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102794,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
