Christian Walker, a Gold Glove first baseman, has signed a three-year, $60 million contract with the Houston Astros, pending a successful physical. This move suggests the Astros are planning to start Isaac Paredes at third base, likely indicating they won't re-sign Alex Bregman.

Walker, who turns 34 soon, had a solid season with 26 home runs and 84 RBIs, despite playing fewer games due to injury. He has established himself as an elite defensive player, winning Gold Gloves for three consecutive years.
