The Astros introduced Tatsuya Imai on a surprising three-year deal amid a pitching-focused offseason, following the loss of Framber Valdez to free agency. Manager Joe Espada indicated the team may utilize a six-man rotation due to a demanding early schedule. Hunter Brown is the top starter, with Imai and Mike Burrows joining the rotation, while options for remaining spots include Ryan Weiss and others. The bullpen is set with established relievers, but spring training injuries could alter the roster landscape.
