Other than some occasional speculation, the Astros haven't made many headlines this winter. The signing of Tatsuya Imai remains the team's lone free agent acquisition of note. On the trade front, they struck a deal to send Mauricio Dubón to the Braves in exchange for Nick Allen but they still haven't fixed many of the roster's shortcomings from last season.
Lately, there have been rumored discussions with the Red Sox to strike a deal that would revamp their outfield, but a major limiting factor for the Astros is the lack of enticing trade assets. The team's farm system had just one Top 100 prospect in 2025 and his value likely won't be enough to put the Astros back on top.
