2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
trade him !!! 36. Christian Walker, 1B, Astros | $40MM through 2027 Speaking of Walker, it seems there’s a good chance Houston will try to take a mulligan on this contract in the offseason. The Astros reacquired Carlos Correa at the trade deadline and will install him as their everyday third baseman. That pushes Isaac Paredes off his position. Paredes has some experience at second base but is a better fit at first base. Plus, Houston has to decide where Jose Altuve will play. After saying he’d play left field primarily in 2025, Altuve struggled enough on the grass that he split his time pretty evenly between his new position and his traditional spot at second base. One could argue that the move here is to trade Paredes, not Walker. He’d fetch a return of some note, whereas the Astros would need to pay down some of Walker’s salary after he turned in a .238/.297/.421 batting line. Walker popped 27 homers, but his overall production was about average on a rate basis, thanks largely to that meager .297 on-base percentage. And, after years of ranking as one of the best defensive first basemen in all of MLB, his defensive grades plummeted in his new surroundings. There’s no easy way to alleviate this logjam of pricey players, but eating some of Walker’s contract and finding a new home for him would be the best path toward fielding a complete roster in 2026. Walker may very well bounce back — he hit .264/.318/.489 (123 wRC+) in his final 305 plate appearances — but Paredes is younger, more affordable and offers more reliable offense. -

Diego Pavia Thread
Knew him well. I was Ole Miss with one of his best friends growing up. He’d come visit a few times a year. He’s always a pretty solid guy. It’s been a while since I’ve hung out with him face to face, but we still text here and there. That was a whole lot of drugs ago, btw. -

Have you ever seen a ghost?
I don't know if this counts as seeing a ghost, but when I was very young, my grandmother on my mom's side passed away from cancer. She had lived on a farm in deep East Texas and was tough as nails. She had an old farmhouse that was a wood frame structure on a solid concrete foundation. It had two bedrooms and a large storage closet on one side, and the kitchen, a bathroom and living room on the other, with a big hallway that was eight to ten feet wide that ran the length of the house in the middle. All of the floors were covered with old linoleum that had lost much of its' adhesion over the years, so when you walked on it, it would move up and down under your feet and make that "sticky" noise. At the end of her life, she wasn't supposed to get out and work her farm anymore, but she hated sitting still for too long, so she would get up and pace the hallway over and over. After she passed, we inherited the farm and used it as a weekend and summer getaway for many years. We spent lots of family time there and for as long as that house stood usable, at night, all of the sudden we'd hear footsteps on the linoleum in the hallway when nobody was in there. Sometimes, if the lighting was just right, you could actually see the linoleum moving with the sounds. In my twenties I would bring friends to the farm to go hunting the first weekend of deer season, and they would all get totally creeped out by the house and footstep noises. Eventually they all refused to go there anymore because they would be up all night freaked out by the place. Even though it was kind of creepy, our family got used to it and wasn't phased by it, but every time we brought someone new to the farm, they would be totally freaked out and uncomfortable.
