The Houston Astros face a challenging offseason as they prepare for the Winter Meetings, primarily focused on retaining third baseman Alex Bregman, a key player with significant playoff experience.

While Bregman is a top free agent, the Astros also need to address their first base situation, especially after the underwhelming performance in 2024. The team may explore options like Christian Walker or trade for players like Nolan Arenado if Bregman departs.
