The Houston Astros have tendered contracts to twelve arbitration-eligible players, including pitcher Bryan Abreu, infielder Isaac Paredes, and shortstop Jeremy Pena, indicating their commitment to a core group. They also avoided arbitration with pitcher Enyel De Los Santos and outfielder Taylor Trammell. However, they traded utility man Mauricio Dubon to Atlanta and non-tendered infielder Ramon Urias. These moves come with a substantial arbitration bill, potentially nearing fifty million dollars, and the team must agree on one-year contracts with the remaining players by mid-January. Despite shedding some payroll, the Astros are preparing for a busy offseason of negotiations to shape their roster and manage their budget.
