The Houston Astros are back in action, reporting to camp as the countdown to Spring Training begins. And while the familiar faces are returning, it\u2019s the fresh ones-and the potential moves still to come-that are turning heads in Houston.<\/p>\n

The Astros have added a few new names to the mix this offseason, including right-hander Tatsuya Imai, pitcher Mike Burrows, and most recently, utility man Joey Loperfido. That last acquisition came via a trade that sent Jesus Sanchez to the Toronto Blue Jays. But according to general manager Dana Brown, the Astros aren\u2019t finished dealing just yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not done yet.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

That was Brown\u2019s message as he addressed the state of Houston\u2019s roster this week. And it wasn\u2019t just a throwaway line. The Astros are actively working the phones, specifically looking to resolve what\u2019s become a clear logjam in the infield.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s break it down: Jeremy Pe\u00f1a has shortstop locked up. Jose Altuve isn\u2019t going anywhere at second base.<\/p>\n

Carlos Correa, back in Houston, is set at third. That leaves first base as the only real point of flexibility-and right now, there are two starting-caliber players vying for one spot: Christian Walker and Isaac Paredes.<\/p>\n

Walker still brings solid pop to the lineup and can hold his own defensively. But Paredes, coming off an All-Star nod in 2025, has made a strong case to be an everyday starter.<\/p>\n

With Yordan Alvarez locked in at designated hitter, there\u2019s simply not enough at-bats to go around. Splitting time between Walker and Paredes might look good on paper, but in practice, it\u2019s a recipe for underutilizing talent.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the Astros are exploring trade options. They\u2019re looking to turn that surplus into value elsewhere-whether that\u2019s bolstering the bullpen, adding outfield depth, or shoring up the rotation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good problem to have, but one that needs solving. The front office knows it, and Brown isn\u2019t shying away from making moves to get this roster aligned before Opening Day.<\/p>\n

So while the Astros begin ramping up for another season, don\u2019t expect the front office to sit back and watch. The roster may not be finalized just yet-and if Brown\u2019s comments are any indication, more changes could be on the horizon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
