In the previous article I wrote, I talked about how in 2024, the Houston Astros ended the year with the 3rd highest payroll in baseball while having more buried money than any other team and retaining less than 10% for 2025. I talked about where money is going this offseason for sure and who is coming back, either under contract or under arbitration.
This time, we are going to look at where that money should be going and to who it should be going to.
Who should be paid during arbitration period?
The Houston Astros have 10 players who could be coming into the 2025 season on an arbitration contract.
