The Houston Astros have made significant moves ahead of the arbitration deadline, offering contracts to eleven players and avoiding arbitration with two others. These decisions, including the trade of Mauricio Dubón and designation of Ramón Urías, Chas McCormick, and Luis Garcia for assignment, have freed up payroll space for new starting pitching. The eleven remaining arbitration-eligible players are projected to earn a combined forty-nine point four million dollars, potentially leading to more trades. Notable players like Isaac Paredes and Hunter Brown, who placed third in American League Cy Young voting, could be trade candidates due to the teams crowded infield and roster changes.
