    Astros AVOID arbitration with MOST players, strikeout with 2 players

    The Astros wrapped up most of their arbitration business before the deadline — including a key agreement with Bryan Abreu — but two notable names are still headed toward arbitration. In this episode of Locked On Astros, we break down: Which Astros avoided arbitration, and how did their final salaries compare to MLB Trade Rumors' projections? The biggest surprises from deadline day, including Jeremy Peña’s significant raise and Houston saving money with several depth pieces. Why Bryan Abreu reaching an agreement matters for bullpen stability. What it means for Isaac Paredes and Yainer Díaz to remain unsigned as they head toward arbitration hearings. How the arbitration process works and what comes next as February approaches. With only Paredes and Díaz left unresolved, we discuss the financial, roster, and clubhouse implications — and whether Houston will ultimately settle before hearings begin. 🎧 Subscribe for daily Astros coverage, roster breakdowns, and offseason analysis.

    Why the Astros Are Embracing a Six-Man Rotation in 2026

    Houston Astros embrace a bold new era with the six-man rotation—can this pitching experiment fuel another World Series run? Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey examine how Hunter Brown, Imai, and Christian Javier headline a crowded battle for rotation spots, while Spencer Arrighetti and Lance McCullers Jr. fight to stay relevant. The hosts raise critical pitching questions, spotlight the recent Edward Cabrera trade, and debate whether Houston needs another left-handed starter like MacKenzie Gore. Roster intrigue doesn’t stop at the mound. Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey explore key arbitration deadlines for Astros stars, the backup catcher conundrum between Cesar Salazar and rumored target Victor Caratini, and how frontline options like Christian Walker and Isaac Paredes could spark infield drama. Plus, get insights on Houston’s latest minor league signings and the fan experience surrounding Fan Fest. Will this revamped Astros roster maintain their championship pedigree in 2026—or are more moves on the horizon? With 26 games in 28 days to open the season, Houston is expected to roll out a six-man rotation built around Hunter Brown, Imai, Cristian Javier, and Spencer Arrighetti, with a deep group of options ready to step in. After using 15 different starting pitchers last season, the Astros are clearly prioritizing health, flexibility, and durability early in the year. We break down why Joe Espada is leaning into the six-man setup, how it helps ease Imai’s transition from Japan, and why this approach could protect the bullpen and prevent another injury-ravaged rotation. Plus, we look at what this means for Lance McCullers Jr., the depth arms waiting in the wings, and how second-half reinforcements could change the picture. Is this the smartest rotation strategy Houston has used in years—or a sign the Astros are adapting to a new reality? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
