3 red-hot Astros minor leaguers who pushed hard for a September call-up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MLB rosters expand from 26 to 28 on September 1st. For the Houston Astros, that means much-needed reinforcements are on the way. Houston had an excellent week, winning four of six in New York, grabbing two each against the Yankees and Mets, and getting themselves a two-game lead in the division. That doesn't erase the struggles they were having in the weeks prior, which included a 3-6 stretch and six straight games of not scoring five runs. Every team gets one extra hitter and one pitcher for th
Predicting Jeremy Peña’s next contract after his August swoon with Astros (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the last five seasons, Jeremy Pena has emerged as one of the best young shortstops in baseball for the Houston Astros. He showed out in his rookie season in 2022, posting 3.3 fWAR, led mostly by his Gold Glove defense. 2023 and 2024 were minor steps back, with WRC+ numbers under 100 and fWAR totals under 3.0, but in 2025 he put everything together. Pena posted a 135 WRC+ and eight Outs Above Average at shortstop, which gave him a career-high 5.7 fWAR. He got his first career All-Star bid an
Astros may already have Bryan Abreu replacement before free agency hits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bryan Abreu has been a staple in the Houston Astros bullpen for the last six years. While never the closer, he was one of the most effective eighth-inning arms in baseball. Since 2021, the righty's 158 and 2/3 innings pitched in the eighth are the second most, and his 1.99 ERA is the second best. Astros fans have known that when he came into the game, the score wasn't changing heading to the ninth. Now 29 years old, Abreu's is about to hit free agency. Astros fans will want him re-signed. Even t
4 biggest Astros X-factors who could make-or-break their playoff chances (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2026 MLB season is winding down, and the Houston Astros are in the thick of the playoff race. They haven't been able to create any separation from the Rangers in the division, and the Mariners are lurking right behind them. It's going to take a whole team effort to ensure they secure their spot in the postseason and it will be anything but easy. Of course, they will need players like Yordan Alvarez and Jeremy Pena to keep producing, but it's more than just them. Other players are going to ne
4 general manager candidates Astros should look at to fill void left by Dana Brown firing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With the Houston Astros deciding to mutually part ways with GM Dana Brown on Monday, the search begins for the organization's next top baseball executive. This should be an enticing role for most up-and-coming execs around the league, as Houston has been one of the premier franchises of the last decade and the team is still in the playoff race and is not in need of a complete rebuild. Because Houston does not need a rebuild, they should be looking for an executive from a team that has a track re
