Join Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey for the Locked On Astros podcast as they look ahead to the winter meetings. Bob Nightengale says that Jake Meyers will be traded. Is Justin Verlander basically a done deal? When will the Ryan Weiss deal be made official? What if the Astros get the first overall pick? Houston Astros shake up their winter strategy as Jake Myers hits the trading block. Could a major move be looming at MLB’s Winter Meetings? With the team hunting for controllable, young pitching, fans wonder which high-potential arms—like Mitch Keller or Miami’s top prospects—might be headed to Minute Maid Park. Is Myers’ defensive prowess more valuable on Houston’s roster or in a blockbuster deal? Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey break down Jim Crane’s luxury tax philosophy, the team’s reluctance to sign big-name free agents, and the mutual interest in Justin Verlander’s return. The episode spotlights the Astros’ dire need for starting pitching, potential second base upgrades, and the importance of building depth to avoid another injury-plagued campaign. Plus, exclusive insights on Houston’s first shot at an MLB draft lottery pick and how Dana Brown’s decisions could shape the franchise’s future. Will the Astros make a splash or stay conservative?
