The 2026 season hasn't gone to plan for the Houston Astros, to the point that a sell-off at the MLB Trade Deadline is well within the realm of possibility.
But there is still some uncertainty about how far the Astros sell. Will Hunter Brown, Jeremy Pena, or even Yordan Alvarez be traded? It's unlikely, but that doesn't mean there aren't some valuable trade chips who could be on the move.
As CBS Sports' Dayn Perry highlighted, there's one .763 OPS slugger who is the "most likely" player the Astros will deal this season by the deadline. That player is Isaac Paredes.
"Paredes isn't the most lucrative of Houston trade pieces, but he's probably the most likely to be moved if they do undertake some level of sell-off this season," Perry writes.
If the Astros do wind up trading away players by the trade deadline, Paredes being shipped out would make too much sense for the Astros.
