The contract discourse surrounding the Astros in recent months was primarily focused on Alex Bregman (now a Red Sox) and Kyle Tucker (now a Cub). Rightfully so, I might add. Those two players were cornerstones of the franchise. For the former, there was a (slim) possibility that he would re-sign with Houston before he recently chose the Red Sox. That yo-yo of a saga has thankfully drawn to a close. For the latter, Dana Brown decided to recoup something of value more than a compensatory draft pick in 2026 and ended with a trio of players at various levels of the club control spectrum.
