It is thought to be a foregone conclusion that Dallas Keuchel has pitched his last game with the Astros.
What a run it was for the 2015 Cy Young winner, who debuted in the middle of the worst stretch of baseball in the franchise's history and was a key contributor in the turnaround that eventually resulted in a World Series title.

Where will Keuchel end up next?

Bovada has the Yankees listed even with the Astros at 9/4 for the lefthander's services in 2019, ahead of the Angels.

What is just as interesting, is who would the Astros go after to replace Keuchel?

How about Clayton Kershaw? Bovada has the Dodgers as a strong favorite to retain him, but should he be looking for new scenery he has until 4 p.m. Friday to decide if he wants to opt out of hid Dodgers contract or take the $69.5 million over the next two years the Astros are at the top of the list.
The Rangers, who play down the street from Kershaw's hometown of Dallas, are also 15/4.
