Astros Release Once-Hyped Prospect Baez

Houston Astros surprise fans by releasing outfielder Luis Baez, once hailed as their top prospect and signed for a record $1.3 million bonus four years ago.

The Astros’ move underscores how tough it is to break through, even for high-ceiling players with big investments behind them. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
