Why would Houston even consider Arenado.

He dissed them by turning down a trade in offseason.

And frankly he is embarrassing himself with his recent play.

Fallen off a cliff in last 2-3 years.

Urías has some defensive versatility but figures to play everyday at the hot corner in Houston. The Astros lost Isaac Paredes to a significant hamstring strain a couple weeks ago. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale suggested this morning that season-ending surgery was a possibility. Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 subsequently reported that Paredes is seeking out multiple opinions in hopes of avoiding the knife. In any case, he’s expected to miss at least two months.
