Astros Predicted to Trade Former World Series MVP in Surprise Offseason Move

The Houston Astros are facing an important offseason, and one MLB analyst believes the organization could make a surprising decision involving one of its biggest stars. Shortstop Jeremy Peña has been a fixture in Houston’s lineup since his breakout rookie campaign in 2022, when he helped lead the Astros to a World Series championship. But with Peña approaching free agency following the 2027 season, Houston could be forced to consider moving its former World Series MVP. In his November 4 offseason predictions for CBS Sports, Mike Axisa predicted that the Astros will trade Peña while retaining fellow infielder Isaac Paredes.
