• Could the Astros Really Trade Isaac Paredes? Roster Crunch Heating Up

  The Astros’ offseason just got a whole lot more interesting. With Yordan Alvarez expected to spend most of the year at designated hitter and José Altuve likely returning to second base full-time, the roster crunch is real — and it’s putting Isaac Paredes, Christian Walker, and Jake Meyers squarely in the middle of trade speculation. We break down why a Paredes trade is far more realistic now than it was a month ago, which teams are calling on Meyers, and whether Walker has any trade market at all.We also dive into the ripple effect of Yordan’s DH role, what it means for the Astros’ ability to juggle playing time, and how Altuve’s workload factors into lineup construction. Plus: Dana Brown’s latest comments on contracts and roster building, the Astros landing two top-30 draft picks, the sale of their minor league affiliates, and new updates from WBC managers on Altuve and Correa.If you’re trying to understand where the Astros’ offseason is really headed — this episode is for you.Locked On Astros is your daily Houston Astros podcast, hosted by Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey.
