The Astros have been struggling recently, but they went through similar stretches last year and that seemed to work out just fine. The Rockets pounded the Jazz twice over the weekend and the Rockets-Warriors series we have all been waiting for is almost upon us. The Warriors will be slightly favored, but both teams are expected to defeat any squad that comes out of the East.
How Jeremy Peña’s high-dollar rejection could shift everything for Astros

In today’s episode, we dive into the bombshell report that Jeremy Peña has turned down a five-year, $105 million contract extension from the Houston Astros — a move that could have major implications for his future in Houston.
We take you through the reported timeline of the contract talks and explore how Peña’s recent decision to sign with super-agent Scott Boras might shape the next phase of negotiations. What does this all mean for Astros fans hoping to see Peña stay in Houston long-term? Is there still a path forward, or did the front office miss its window?
We also examine what this moment reveals about the Astros’ broader strategy, and whether their approach to homegrown stars is due for a serious rethink.
