Houston Texans rookie CB Derek Stingley Jr made his rookie debut against the Rams on Friday. What stood out from Stingley Jr and the rest of the rookies that played in the game? ESPN Houston's Jake Asman, Cody, Stoots, and Brad Kellner discuss on The Wheelhouse.
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.
