The New York Yankees are considering making a trade for Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña. With the Astros currently 28-36 and struggling in the American League West, speculation suggests they might be open to dealing Peña, who will be a free agent after the 2028 season. This potential move could involve shifting current player Anthony Volpe off the roster. The Yankees are reportedly focused on strengthening their position as they aim for a deep postseason run. Any trade would depend on whether the Astros assess their chances of making the playoffs.
