The Houston Astros face a roster challenge with star pitcher Framber Valdez as a free agent and an infield logjam, particularly after trading for Carlos Correa. Despite speculation, the team is not trading Christian Walker or Isaac Paredes, complicating their path forward. With Correa, Paredes, and Jeremy Peña all vying for infield spots, the Astros must find a way to balance their talented roster and address the infield surplus without making further trades. Potential solutions include playing Yordan Alvarez in the outfield or utilizing Mauricio Dubon as a bench player. The teams focus is on helping Walker improve his performance as they prepare for the upcoming season.
