You could certainly argue that the Astros have an expensive yet inefficient roster. And I would agree with that assessment. Including projected raises in arbitration, the organization is projected to have around $16 million under the first tax threshold of $244 million for the upcoming 2026 season.

World Series Preview: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Toronto Blue Jays (with some Houston Astros considerations)
For the Astros’ fan, deprived of any meaningful games since late September, this World Series might not seem worth watching. Hard to blame the Houston fan for thinking that. The only notable Astros news centers on the purges of coaches/trainers and the signing of a depth piece at pitcher. Still, a World Series is a […]

A.J. Blubaugh: Astros reliever or starter?
As the Astros construct their 2026 team over the off-season, their assessment of promising rookies’ performances will be an important input. A.J. Blubaugh is one of the more promising 2025 rookie pitchers. His 2025 pitching at the major league level definitely showed promise. But the sample size is small (32 innings) and his potential role […]

Astros, Nate Pearson Agree On A One-Year Contract
Are you a free-agent pitcher who has a four-seam fastball in the 93rd percentile for velocity and the 83rd percentile for extension? Well, then, the Astros might have interest in you.

2026 Position profiles: Second Base
Unlike the other positions, second base probably has more options and more intrigue coming into the 2026 season. We will profile three players, but depending on what happens elsewhere on the roster it could be none of these guys manning second base a majority of the time. The lion share of our focus has been […]

Is There Hope for Yainer Diaz in 2026?
Yainer Diaz arrived on the scene in Houston like a shooting star. Acquired from Cleveland in the Myles Straw trade, his debut in 2023 seemed like the Astros had stumbled onto the second coming of Johnny Bench. He’s gotten steadily worse every year. It’s as though he joined the Astros when he was 34 years […]
