We perfect addressed the 3B situation, added some INF depth (bye Short and Whitcomb), and landed the lefty handed bat we needed so badly. We got them all for multiple years and gave up very very little. AND stayed under the tax. Dana MF Brown is man. He's earned a spot up there with Click and Jeff.

I'm still shocked at how little prospect capital we gave up. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the offseason with Parades coming back. If all of the twins money is hitting this year, then it'll make it hard to bring anybody in during free agency.


We also knock off Montero and Abreu's salary next year. And odds are we don't have Framber, so there is another amount off the books.

Great trade deadline for Dana and the baseball ops group. You made a statement without letting go of any "prospects". The Astros will be a force to be reckoned with in the postseason once again.

Evaluators both inside and outside of the Astros' organization do not believe Paredes can handle second base on an everyday basis. Perhaps a winter's worth of work there could remedy that, but given the significant nature of his hamstring injury, it's worth wondering how normal of an offseason Paredes will have.

Making Paredes serviceable at second base is the most straightforward way to make Correa fit on the Astros' 2026 and 2027 rosters, but another option must be considered: making Peña available in trade talks.

Peña will be due for a substantial raise in his second year of arbitration eligibility. He hired agent Scott Boras to represent him earlier this season after deep extension talks with the Astros with his previous representation. Boras generally prefers his clients to eschew pre-arbitration extensions in favor of free agency.

Trading Kyle Tucker this winter strayed from the Astros' standard operating procedure, but did set the precedent that the Astros will at least explore deals for players they aren't likely to extend in order to supplement a barren farm system. Might Peña be the next domino?

Wow. I wasn't expecting that. Wouldn't mind having him back just for his playoff experience alone.

I think he's washed. His last 5 games he's got an ERA of 12.6 and a whip of 1.8 and HR/9 of 7.2

So that's a little over $23 mil a season for 3 years for age 31-33 range for Correa, not crazy


Entirely depends on if he can stay on the field for those years...

Makes me wonder what selling high on JP could yield for this team. Haven't checked who will be in the market for a SS this offseason.

Not gonna lie, I dream a bit on what kind of bounty you can get for Pena this offseason. It's a 1% chance they trade him but he could really net a lot of young guys.

I'd take Presley as a possible 6-7 inning guy. Not sure he would accept that but thats basically what he did for the Cubs.

Isn't he from the Northeast? Trade him to Boston for 4 of their best 5 prospects if he has to be traded. Or go west coast and send him to Dodgers for 4 of their best 5 prospects.

Man, I don't think I've ever seen anyone with such severe splits as Jesus Sanchez. He is dang near an elite hitter against RHP and absolutely futile against LHP.

These are his differences between RHP and LHP in the last 4 seasons

2022
RHP- .759
LHP- .309

2023
RHP- .808
LHP- .564

2024
RHP- .797
LHP- .485

2025
RHP- .814
LHP- .394

I wonder if we'll be able to fit Caratini, Sanchez and Trammel in the lineup often enough to start making them pitch some lefties against us

speaking of the #1 jersey...

in the big picture...Carlos is back in the mix for jersey-in-the-rafters someday with 3 more good years of service

would be a 10-year player for the franchise from the World Series teams
