The Houston Astros face a challenging offseason after a disappointing Wild Card exit against the Detroit Tigers. With crucial decisions looming, particularly regarding third baseman Alex Bregman, the team must act swiftly to enhance their roster.

One key area for improvement is first base, following the unsuccessful stint of José Abreu. Suggestions have emerged for the Astros to pursue Paul Goldschmidt, a former NL MVP, as he becomes a free agent. Despite his age and recent performance decline, Goldschmidt's potential impact could be significant for the Astros' lineup.
