The Rolling ‘Stros
Carlos Correa, José Altuve, George Springer and Alex Bregman traded their baseball equipment for instruments and microphones while shooting promotional videos with H-E-B Supermarkets. Their boy band is called The Rolling ‘Stros. When does the album drop, fellas?

Now that Carlos Beltrán is retired, he has some extra time on his hands to look extra fly. Beltrán did some shopping at Jean Jack of Spades in New York with his son. Beltrán is enjoying the fruits of his labor.
