Due to this, the Astros are now being linked to one of baseball's top free agents.

In a recent article for Sports Illustrated, Will Laws predicted that the Astros will sign star outfielder Randy Arozarena to a four-year, $104 million contract in free agency.

With the Astros needing another star to solidify their outfield, it would make a lot of sense if they pushed hard to sign Arozarena. He would have the potential to provide the middle of the Astros' batting order with a big boost. This is because he is a star power hitter who is also a threat on the basepaths.
Arozarena played in 154 games this season with the Seattle Mariners, posting 26 home runs, 26 stolen bases, 79 RBI, and a .281 batting average. With numbers like these, he would be a very good player for the Astros to add as they look to be better in 2027. It will be intriguing to see if they will sign him this offseason because of it from here.
