Astros signed SS Jeremy Pena to a one-year, $9.475 million deal to avoid arbitration.Pena ended the season on the IL with an oblique strain, but was tremendous when healthy in 2025, posting a .304/.363/.477 slash line with 68 runs scored, 17 homers, 62 RBI, and 20 steals in just 125 games. The Astros' lineup should be a bit stronger next season with full seasons from Yordan Alvarez and Isaac Paredes, which makes Pena a strong target in fantasy leagues.
