\"Astros<\/p>\n

The Houston Astros and general manager Dana Brown have some work to do this winter, especially with the crowded infield.<\/p>\n

Not much action has happened lately, but thanks to old friend Alex Bregman signing with the Chicago Cubs instead of the Boston Red Sox, a trade opened up.<\/p>\n

According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, the Astros might now be able to swing a trade with the Red Sox with one of their infielders after Boston lost Bregman to the Cubs. Specifically, Isaac Paredes could be a clear trade target for Boston.<\/p>\n

Astros could trade Paredes to Red Sox after Bregman’s Cubs deal<\/h2>\n

\"Astros<\/p>\n

“Boston expressed interest in Isaac Paredes during the Winter Meetings and, now without Bregman, could re-engage in its pursuit of Houston’s pull-happy third baseman,” Rome writes.<\/p>\n

Paredes would make a lot of sense for the Red Sox, especially with the Green Monster in left field creating an interesting dynamic with the pull-hitting Paredes.<\/p>\n

The All-Star third baseman is in the final year of his deal and would be a very reasonable trade target for Boston after losing Bregman to the Cubs.<\/p>\n

While Nico Hoerner, Alec Bohm, and Brendan Donovan are all possible options to replace Bregman’s roster spot, Paredes might be their best option this winter.<\/p>\n

\"Paredes'<\/p>\n

Hoerner and Donovan might be too expensive to trade for, while Bohm doesn’t carry the same power that Paredes has.<\/p>\n

Houston is open to moving Paredes as well, as clearing some of the infield would make a lot of sense. With little interest in a Christian Walker trade, Paredes is the Astros’ best trade chip.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Bregman signing with the Cubs over the Red Sox, Boston might be more desperate for a third baseman.<\/p>\n

With Houston being open to a deal, and the two sides already linking in talks before on Paredes at the Winter Meetings, this trade would make a lot of sense for both sides.<\/p>\n
