The Houston Astros have made several key changes to their roster this offseason. Owner Jim Crane praised General Manager Dana Brown for strengthening the team with new talent.
The Astros added Christian Walker, Isaac Paredes, and Cam Smith in a trade with the Chicago Cubs. They also signed Brendan Rodgers to boost their infield. These moves show the team’s commitment to improving and staying competitive.
Houston wanted to keep star third baseman Alex Bregman and made him a strong offer. However, he chose to sign with the Boston Red Sox instead. Losing Bregman is a big change for the team, but they are looking ahead to new opportunities.
Pitcher Framber Valdez is nearing free agency, and the Astros have not yet started contract extension talks with him. Fans are eager to see if the team will try to keep him or let him test the market.
With these changes, the Astros are gearing up for another exciting season. Fans will be watching closely to see how the new players perform and whether the team can stay at the top of the league.
