The Houston Astros have tendered contracts to their eight arbitration-eligible players ahead of the deadline, including outfielders Jake Meyers and Chas McCormick. The group also features key players like Kyle Tucker and Framber Valdez, with projected earnings totaling over $53 million for 2025.
General Manager Dana Brown expressed optimism for McCormick's future while being less certain about Meyers. Both players' performances will be crucial as the Astros consider adding a left-handed hitting outfielder.
Valdez and Tucker are entering their final arbitration years, with significant salary projections of $17.8 million and $15.8 million, respectively. The team may revisit extension talks as the season progresses.
