Houston Astros first baseman Christian Walker has already emerged as one of the most likely players to be dealt this offseason, but another name has flown under the radar and as a potential trade candidate as well — Yainer Diaz.
Some Astros fans are sure to laugh at the notion of trading Diaz once the offseason gets underway, but if Houston is looking to truly improve the roster heading into the 2026 season, moving ofn from their starting backstop could help to bring back some legitimate talent.

The idea of trading Walker is not without merit, and should definitely be considered.
