Here’s what people were saying in the comments:
@HtownWheelhouse: “Wouldn’t that be a no brainer? I mean one year left, can’t be an everyday guy. I mean lets wait for the 10th anniv. of the 2017 title to have him back at Daikin.”
@sharigoldsberry: “Thank you! Love George but he doesn’t fit here at this time.”
@RossPollack8: “Between Varsho and Springer, I think Varsho is the better fit for the Astros in their current situation.”

@AstroWorldzzzz: “As the deadline draws near, I think this will change if they can’t find anyone else”
@MicrophoneMilo: “Nor should they. Springer would be an upgrade over Spence or Meyers (obviously), but this was really just “red meat” for the Memory Laners. #Astros need pitching and more pitching.”
