With four more years of team control and coming off a 29-homer season, the Astros won't be looking to trade 27-year-old George Springer any time soon. Still, one young fan didn't want to take any chances -- after all, when your favorite player can crush dingers, rob dingers and do it all with a truly fantastic sense of hair style, you can never be too careful.
So, naturally, our intrepid hero went right to the top: He wrote a letter to Houston GM Jeff Luhnow that made a pretty airtight case for hanging on to the right fielder.

Although, it turns out the author might not be as young as we think:
