Even at 8-12 and in last place in the AL West, it’s far too early to tell if the Houston Astros<\/a> will be sellers at this year’s trade deadline.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it’s never too early to speculate what clubs could do if they find themselves in a losing situation. If so, the Astros could trade an All-Star third baseman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“An infield logjam as a result of the Carlos Correa reunion last summer made Isaac Paredes a popular name on the trade market during the offseason, and while he ultimately stayed put, he remains a logical trade candidate,” Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter wrote <\/a>Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paredes is in his second year with the Astros but is hitting just .208\/.344\/.283 with no home runs and four doubles in 64 trips to the plate in 2026. The 27-year-old hit a career high 31 home runs in 2023 with the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One team that could be interested in Paredes’ services is the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>, Reuters wrote. In his trade proposal, right-hander Logan Henderson and outfielder Luis Tara <\/a>are dealt to Houston.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s especially true if the Astros continue to struggle, as his remaining club control through 2027 and All-Star pedigree still give him significant trade value, even if he doesn’t have an everyday home in the Houston lineup,” Reuters added to his original point that Paredes is a potential trade candidate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luis Rengifo and David Hamilton are struggling offensively for the Brewers at third base. If the Astros can find a way to give Paredes more playing time elsewhere, while adding a a middle of the rotation arm and prospect, that’s more than ideal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
