All the news and rumors around the Houston Astros and from around MLB – it’s in here! A late night offseason Crawfish Boil for the holidays – December 29, 2025

Cliff’s notes version:
- Thinks Bellinger’s best fit is with Yankees, but will they pay him?
- Teams in on Bregman include Jays, Cubs, DBacks, BoSox: DBacks legit interested but he believes the team needs to move Ketel Marte to afford Bregman. Thinks Jays should be prioritizing Bo Bichette but Bregman should be fallback option. Thinks BoSox make the most sense as they’ve already seen his offensive/defensive/leadership impact
- BoSox need to be more aggressive. They really liked Schwarber but weren’t close in the bidding because they weren’t aggressive enough.
- Okamoto would be a fit in Anaheim if Arte Moreno opens the wallet. Pirates, BoSox, Jays, Cubs, DBacks interested.
- No favorite yet for Imai.
- Braves want to add a SP but don’t want to spend big
- Orioles still looking for SP even after signing Eflin.

- Francys Romero has 3 teams listed among the suitors for Okamoto
- The Marlins and Dodgers made a trade:
Ruiz led the AL with 67 SB in 2023, but has only 76 AB the last 2 seasons combined between the A’s and Dodgers.
- There is a market developing for FA 3B Yoan Moncada:
- Jon Heyman lists Orioles, Blue Jays as big winners of offseason thus far:
- Andrew Heaney announced his retirement:
- Former MLB pitcherC.J. Nitkowski thinks the Orioles should address their bullpen:
