Astros Eye Trade for Paredes, Target Brewers' Ashby, Mitchell

The Houston Astros are eyeing a trade for infielder Isaac Paratus before the 2026 Major League baseball season kicks off. With an overcrowded infield, the team sees moving him as the smart play, even though he's underclub control for a few more years. A recent proposal from Bleacher Report suggests sending him to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for two players. An idea would land the Astros left-handed pitcher Aaron Ashby in outfielder, Garrett Mitchell. Both are 27-year-olds with control through the 2028 season. Ashby stood out last year with a 2.16 earned run average out of the bullpen. Meanwhile, the Astros could use more left-handed bats in the outfield. Mitchell fits that need despite a rough 2025 where he hit just 206 in 25 games. His 2024 performance was stronger, with a 255 average over 69 games.

1:02Experts see this as a solid return for Houston. Ashby brings high upside relief pitching while Mitchell adds depth. Trading Paratus clears the log jam without wasting talent. If it happens, the Astros gains stability for the next three years. It's a practical swap that addresses key weaknesses heading into the season. A quick thank you to our sponsor of today's episode.
