SCORE THAT 'GRAPH
Houston is still awash in World Series glow after the Astros' magical Game 6 clincher at Minute Maid Park on Saturday, November 5 and the massive victory parade downtown on Monday, November 7. Now fans who can't stop that feeling can get up close and personal with some favorite players.
José Altuve, Alex Bregman, and Kyle Tucker will meet fans and sign autographs this week at three Academy Sports + Outdoors locations around Greater Houston, from Wednesday, November 9 through Thursday, November 10.
For fans, it's chance to score an autograph, perhaps take a photo, shake hands (please mind Bregman's finger), and maybe even snap a selfie with the stars.
Importantly, the three Astros will only sign the autograph cards provided by the stores and will not sign any outside items or merchandise, per an Academy press release. Autograph passes will be handed out to fans one hour prior to each event start time.
Here's the schedule of Astros appearances this week.
Kyle Tucker
Wednesday, November 9; 6 pm-7:30 pm
Academy Sports + Outdoors, Bunker Hill (9734 Katy Fwy.)
Alex Bregman
Thursday, November 10; 6 pm-7:30 pm
Academy Sports + Outdoors, Meyerland, (8715-A W Loop S.)
José Altuve

With reports now flooding in about the possibility of the Astros trading Kyle Tucker and/or Framber Valdez this offseason, we have to consider this a real possibility.
With that in mind, what should the Astros expect in return? And what would these trades mean for the Astros' chances to compete in 2025 and beyond?
