The Houston Astros had a quiet time in Orlando, foregoing making any significant moves during the Winter Meetings. That might seem like a bad thing, but the annual event was uncharacteristically slow overall, with few big deals being handed out.
As frustrating as it is to watch the team sit on the sidelines, the good news is that there's still time. Of course, the budget is tight, and there's a chance we don't see much of anything, but there are still a number of players out there who could fit Houston's needs and budget.
This is the short-list that Dana Brown should get to work on, and if he can bring in even a couple of these player, the club will be in a much stronger position for 2026.
