The Houston Astros keep Michael Brantley with a $32 million, two-year deal.

Brantley spent the last two seasons in Houston after playing for Cleveland for his first 10 MLB seasons. Brantley hit .300 with five homers and 22 RBIs in 46 games in last year’s pandemic-shortened season. He had three home runs and 11 RBIs in 13 playoff games last year as the Astros came a win shy of reaching the World Series for the second straight season.

Like George Springer, Brantley is a solid four-WAR player, and like Springer, his contract works out to about $8 million per expected WAR. That’s what the stars are bring in this season.
