I wonder if that means Bo is gone. Can they afford to give out 500+ M in deals this offseason after paying Vladdy last one?

In what should come as no surprise, Framber Valdez declined the Astros’ qualifying offer, a source tells @TheAthletic, meaning Houston will receive draft pick compensation if Valdez signs elsewhere this winter.

Final accounting on qualifying offers, per sources:
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) November 18, 2025
Trent Grisham (Yankees), Gleyber Torres (Tigers), Brandon Woodruff (Brewers) and Shota Imanaga (Cubs) all accepted the one-year, $22.025 million contract to return for 2026.
The nine other players offered rejected the deal.

One of our better situational hitters.
Using MLBTR's projections, the Astros have already cut $10 million in projected payroll by parting ways with Chas McCormick, Luis Garcia and Ramón Urías. They have 13 remaining arbitration-eligible players. Friday is the deadline to tender them contracts.

You mean the back to back GGs?
Yeah he's not much help at the plate but he plays multiple positions at an elite level.
If we're gonna load manage some of these injury prone guys then we need Dubon.

I still don't understand the hate for Dubon. He is a super useful utility guy with multiple Gold Gloves and he is a ~.650 OPS hitter. Yeah he drives me crazy sometimes with his impatient at bats, but he is fine as an 8-9 hitter. Our problem was playing him every day and having to hit him in the middle of the lineup too much because we have too many 7/8/9 quality hitters in the lineup.
