TRADE NOW: Houston Astros Weigh Jake Meyers’ PEAK Value and Brendan Donovan Rumors Explode

Join Eric Huysman and Eric Huysman for the Locked On Astros podcast as they discuss the latest trade buzz surrounding the Astros. We know Dana Brown said he's not looking to trade certain players, but could corresponding moves make it more likely for them to trade names like Christian Walker or Isaac Paredes? James Hicks missed most of the minor league season but showed out during the AFL season. Houston Astros face pivotal trade decisions as Jake Myers hits peak value and Brendan Donovan’s name heats up the rumor mill. Could Myers’ elite defense land him in Philadelphia, and is Donovan the key to balancing Houston’s heavily right-handed lineup? The possibility of a crowded infield sparks debate on the futures of Christian Walker, Isak Paredes, and Mauricio Dubon, and whether Astros GM Dana Brown will make a bold move before the Winter Meetings.Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey break down what Myers’ impressive 2025 season means for his trade prospects, Donovan’s fit at second base, and the strategy behind targeting left-handed bats. The hosts highlight emerging pitching prospect James Hicks’ dominant Arizona Fall League showing and debate Justin Verlander’s role in a new-look rotation.
