Astros consider trading Jeremy Pena after unsuccessful contract negotiations

The Houston Astros may trade shortstop Jeremy Pena if they fall out of playoff contention. The team attempted to extend Pena's contract, which runs through the end of 2027, but failed to reach an agreement. As several key players return from injury, Houston aims to improve its standing in a weak division before making drastic moves. If they do not succeed in the standings, Pena could be a viable trade candidate as a free agent next season. Other teams may show interest, particularly those with weaknesses at shortstop.
