With improvement on the field, bringing the Astros to a 52-55 record, Dana Brown and his team aren’t going to worry about where Pe\u00f1a will be playing for the rest of the season, because it’s going to be in Houston. <\/p>\n
In a recent report by Red Sox insider Ari Alexander on X (formerly Twitter), Boston is highly interested in adding a shortstop at the trade deadline, with Pe\u00f1a and Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto as their biggest targets. Houston has turned down that idea. <\/p>\n
“A league source tells me the Red Sox approached the Astros about the star SS and were shut down immediately. The Astros do not want to trade Pe\u00f1a, and industry sources are treating the Astros as buyers,” Alexander wrote<\/a>. <\/p>\n With how Pe\u00f1a has played since his return, it would make sense for Houston to trade him should the results not be in their favor. But Pe\u00f1a returning to the lineup has allowed the Astros to find success and is the sole reason for helping his case to stay put in Houston. <\/p>\n Pairing Pe\u00f1a with American League MVP-favorite Yordan Alvarez<\/a>, either at the top of or in the middle of the lineup, has given Houston the offensive boost it’s been so desperate to find. The outfield and bullpen still need help<\/a>, but Pe\u00f1a won’t be a player the front office will even dangle in front of other contenders. <\/p>\n The Astros are in prime position to be aggressive in additions at the trade deadline. <\/p>\n
