The Houston Astros have to move pieces around to accommodate Isaac Paredes and Carlos Correa at third base.

Scott Barzilla of Climbing Tal's Hill analyzes how the Houston Astros should manage their infield alignment with Carlos Correa returning alongside Isaac Paredes. Barzilla argues that both players must be in the everyday lineup due to their strong offensive production, but their defensive positioning and Correa's injury history present a challenge for the club's front office.
The writer suggests the most elegant solution for the Astros would be trading first baseman Christian Walker, allowing Paredes to move to first base and Correa to play third base. Barzilla notes that trading shortstop Jeremy Pena is another alternative, while emphasizing that keeping Correa healthy should dictate where he plays defensively.
