Brendan Rodgers, once the starting second baseman for the Colorado Rockies, has found a new opportunity with the Houston Astros after entering free agency. The Astros, looking to adapt their roster, have been exploring a potential position change for franchise player José Altuve, which could open the door for Rodgers to compete for a spot at second base.

Rodgers, who has battled injuries and inconsistent performance in recent years, is determined to prove his value. His strong defensive skills, including a Gold Glove award in 2022, are attractive to the Astros. The competition at second base is intensifying, with versatile options like Mauricio Dubón also in the mix. If Altuve successfully transitions to the outfield, it could elevate Rodgers' value significantly for the upcoming season.
