With news of Juan Soto turning down a monster contract with the Nationals for over $400 million, we discuss the possibility of the Astros trading for Soto before the trade deadline.
Plus, we discuss some scenarios that could play out for Houston if they make a blockbuster deal for Soto, and what the Nationals would have to receive to consider trading the young star to the Astros.
Finally, we discuss the Astros philosophy on signing players to long contracts, and question if Houston would be comfortable with Soto walking after his contract expires after the 2024 season.
It's no secret, the big topic of conversation from the Winter Meetings is the Houston Astros and what the future holds for several of their star players.
Fans are starting to voice some concern about what the team could look like should they let Alex Bregman walk, and trade away Kyle Tucker and/or Framber Valdez.
Houston's social media team recently posted a video about the Astros young guns, and let's just say it didn't go over well in the comments. And the timing of this post is quite curious to say the least.

Which begs this question. Are the Astros doing what's necessary by moving on from players they don't believe they can re-sign, or are they on the verge of some big mistakes?
