Astros Shift From Rotation Hunt to Backup Catcher and Bullpen Depth

GM Dana Brown said “starting pitching was our focus,” but after adding arms he’ll pivot to “backup catching and maybe some bullpen help.” He noted Rule 5 pick “Munoz…up to 98” as a power-arm add, while keeping eyes open if another starter “falls in my lap.” Brown said Houston feels “pretty good” about its bullpen, yet prefers more rotation depth.
