Lucas Giolito

On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan talk about the Baseball Hall of Fame veterans committee and are joined by free-agent pitcher Lucas Giolito.

Katz spent the last five years as the White Sox's pitching coach before being dropped earlier in the offseason. He'll be replacing Bill Murphy in Houston after Murphy left to go to Pittsburgh, and he'll presumably work in tandem with fellow pitching coach Joshua Miller. For what it's worth, Katz and free agent Lucas Giolito are very good friends, if that's something the Astros want to pursue.
