Isaac Paredes, Christian Walker, Taylor Trammell and Hayden Wesneski are names to know going into Spring Training.

Bregman stands as perhaps the best position player available in free agency with less than a month before the beginning of Spring Training, and he reportedly still has a standing six-year, $156 million offer from Houston.

The Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly signed Kirby Yates on Tuesday. With an overflow in the bullpen, they could trade this reliever to the Houston Astros.

The Houston Astros have found a way to keep themselves in the headlines throughout the offseason. From having the top free agent available in star third baseman

The Astros have retained Ivey’s contractual rights since he retired from baseball in May 2022 due to burnout. He has appeared in one major-league game — a start against his hometown Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field on May 21, 2021.

So far this winter, the Cubs have added two key members of the Astros, Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly, both via trade with Houston.

Jose Altuve stated his openness to a position change in the context of a specific pursuit, saying he would “do whatever,” including move from second base, if it helped the Houston Astros re-sign Alex Bregman.
