The Astros’ infield was a hot topic last winter. It seemed like the club had five players for four spots, leading to speculation that a trade would be necessary. Former general manager Dana Brown decided not to make a move…
The Houston Astros face an upcoming offseason decision regarding infielder Isaac Paredes, despite holding an easily exercised $13.35 million club option. Charlie Wright reports that while Houston has an option on Paredes, his offensive output and trade value could make him an attractive candidate to move this winter as the club looks to address other roster needs.
Paredes capitalized on injuries to Jeremy Pena and Carlos Correa, slashing .262/.360/.447 with 94 RBI in 2026. However, defensive struggles at third base and designated hitter Yordan Alvarez occupying the DH role complicate his long-term fit, leading Wright to suggest trading Paredes could help Houston acquire outfield help.
