The Houston Astros faced significant roster changes this offseason, trading key players Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly while Alex Bregman moved to the Red Sox. They added Christian Walker but may still need additional offensive strength, especially before the trade deadline in July. Analyst Kerry Miller suggests the Astros could target Luis Robert Jr. from the White Sox, despite Robert's underwhelming performance in 2024. His potential comeback, combined with the Astros' defensive needs, makes him a candidate of interest as they navigate their adjustments.
"For all of the teams in question there, finding another $15M in the budget at this point in the offseason most likely isn't feasible, which explains the lack of any news on the Robert front as of late."
"The White Sox didn't trade away Dylan Cease until mid-March last year. Or if he does make it to Opening Day in Chicago and looks good in April, get ready for some slow-starting team to pull the trigger on this year's Luis Arraez-style early May trade."
