Ace Dallas Keuchel went on record as being hopeful about his club bringing in some top-flight pitching talent, and now rotation mate Lance McCullers, Jr. is as well. Price, of course, will be a free agent after this season, so the Astros could use him right now in the second half or potentially make an offer for his services after 2015 comes to an end.

Responding to a tweet from Price about Detroit's highway system on Tuesday, McCullers fired off a playful response that can definitely be taken as an endorsement of Houston's roadways:

The allure of four-lane highways, coupled with the fact that Price has a celebrity dog named Astro (!) makes him a perfect fit for Houston's rotation...that, and the fact that he's one of the most consistent and dominant pitchers in the game today.
