It doesn't hurt to have a little depth for injuries, if you can manage it.
But with guys like Valdez and Rios stepping up, Richards could certainly be out of the picture.
I don't know about the triceps issue, but assume they wouldn't trade for him if his health is in doubt at all.
His contract was $210 million for 7 years with half of it deferred.
Going to be an interesting two days.
I just think we have to be a little careful about getting holier-than-thou about the Astros and talking about stripping titles. There are people out there who think the Red Sox should also have forfeited their 2018 rings, and that they should never have re-hired Cora etc.
