WATSON WATCH

According to Fox 26's Mark Berman, the Texans are working on a trade with the Dolphins that would send QB Deshaun Watson to Miami. Details of what the Texans would receive in return are still unknown, but the Texans reportedly have not shown interest in conditional draft picks, and that has been a key obstacle holding up any potential trades. You have to wonder if the Dolphins are now willing to meet the Texans price, or if GM Nick Caserio has backed off his draft pick stance. Either way, fans will be expecting multiple first round picks for Watson, since Adam Schefter has reported the Texans are looking to receive a combination of 6 players or draft picks.

The Astros haven't closed the door on a Bregman return. Composite Getty Image.

As we begin another week of free agency, Alex Bregman remains unsigned, but one of the Astros reported targets Anthony Santander has a new home.

Santander has reportedly agreed to a 5-year, $92.5 million contract with the Blue Jays. Many were hoping that the Astros would make a play for the switch hitting power hitter, as he would have provided some serious thump.

Now it appears the Astros will enter the 2025 season with one of the weakness outfields in baseball when it comes to offense.

Speaking of Bregman, Astros manager Joe Espada recently told Fox 26's Nate Griffin that the team is still in contact with Breggy despite General Manger Dana Brown telling the media the team decided to pivot after talks stalled with Bregman's camp.

If there still remains a possibility of Bregman returning, one has to wonder if the Astros reported 6-year, $156 million contract offer is still on the table after the club traded for Isaac Paredes to fill the hole at third base. And if they do make a deal with Bregman, what do they do with Paredes?

Also, now that we know how much money Santander commanded on the open market. Which signing would have benefited the Astros the most? Santander at 5-years, $92.5 million, or Bregman at 6-years, $156 million?

Don't miss the video above as we discuss the possibility of Bregman returning, the Dodgers' absurd free agency (that now involves even more deferred money), Billy Wagner, and much more!
