The Athletic outlet reported that Willson Contreras will meet the Houston Astros in the next few days, so the current World Series champions would be on pole to get the services of one of the best wide receivers in the game.
This way there will be a Latin American damaged in case Contreras ends up agreeing with the ninth space: Martin Maldonado.

And is that the Puerto Rican has been the starting wide receiver for the Houston Astros since 2018, also starring in the 2019, 2021 and, of course, the 2022 World Series; however, he would be relegated to backup Willson Contreras who is considered one of the three most complete plate fielders in the majors.
In fact, the 30-year-old Venezuelan with seven years of MLB experience is looking for a multi-year free agency deal that will earn him at least $13 million a year, after earning $9.6 million in his recent run for the Chicago Cubs .
On the other hand, a hypothetical arrival of Willson Contreras to the Houston Astros would not only take away a lot of time from Martín Maldonado; It would also prevent another Puerto Rican mask, Christian Vázquez, from returning to the space team, where he arrived in mid-2022 from the Boston Red Sox.
