2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
Yep. Injuries combined with sloppy roster construction meant we saw something like 750+ plate appearances last year taken by negative-value players (Trammell, Hummel, Chas, Rodgers, Melton, Short...etc.). We often had guys playing that were replacements of injured replacements of injured starters.

Hey Oil Barons.......
I regret to inform you all that NAPE is once again upon us. Already dreading waking up on Friday.

JL had decent numbers in limited action last year: .879 OPS across 41 games at the big league level. Gives us a lefty platoon option in the OF and he's a lot cheaper than Sanchez. I got no problems with that trade.

And now Expand Energy (the merged CHK and SWN) also moving its HQ from OKC to Houston.

Heights/Garden Oaks/Oak Forest
In other neighborhood big box news, construction at the site of the old Sears complex on N Shepherd finally got underway this week. Target is going in as the main tenant, but the plats I saw a while back had additional space for some other stuff.

Heights/Garden Oaks/Oak Forest
Yeah, they added a small beer and wine section in the back corner shortly after the Heights Dry Zone was repealed to clear the way for HEB to get built. No meat/seafood counter, limited selection of just about everything, clientele looking like the walking dead....etc. That store has innumerable flaws, but it was still convenient for a quick trip if you only needed 1 or 2 basic items on your way home and didn't want to deal with HEB crowd.

Shitty Kroger on 20th is finally getting the axe. Supposed to close by April.

Latest from Chandler: Stros were working on a 3-way trade earlier this year with BOS and STL that would have sent Paredes to Red Sox and Brendan Donovan to Houston. Obviously didn't pan out that way. Red Sox are now out of the Paredes market after they acquired a young 3B from the Brewers this morning. Pirates and other teams are still interested. He adds that, despite whatever Brown has said to the contrary, we do not intend to go into the season with the infield logjam unresolved. Just remains to be seen who can/will make an acceptable offer for E-sock.

Winter Weather 2026 - I Can Haz Cold Front?
Heading into what looks like 2 weeks of very un-February weather, starting with a warm, sunny weekend ahead.

Hey Oil Barons.......
More industry consolidation this week: SM and Civitas completed their merger that was announced back in the Fall. Devon announced yesterday they are acquiring Coterra and moving their HQ from OKC to Houston.

The weather might not feel like it, but it's almost Spring Training time. 12 days until Pitchers and Catchers. Just 3 weeks until first game. I imagine the Astros social media team will be queuing up the annual "loading up the equipment trucks for WPB" posts sometime next week.

WTI shot up above $66 earlier this morning, before coming back down a bit. A close above $65 would be the first since late September.
