The Houston Astros, currently 53-55, may consider trading All-Star shortstop Jeremy Pena at the 2026 MLB trade deadline. With extension talks stalling and the team not projected to advance far in the postseason, Pena's trade could mirror the 2024 Kyle Tucker deal. Pena, under control through 2027, has attracted interest from teams like the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves, who could offer substantial returns. A decision on Pena could significantly affect the Astros' immediate and long-term prospects.
