He updated and said Twins asked about Walker and Astros declined. Which is odd since it's the complete opposite of what he originally said.
I think the Astros would need to eat about half his contract to dump him in a trade in the offseason. For that price it makes more sense to keep him around, although my preferred choice would be to have Parades at First. I don’t think Parades is agile enough to play second, but Correa is too good to be wasted there.
I think it’s too early to tell with Walker. He has his OPS over 700 for the first time this year. A lot of his advanced numbers are trending back towards the previous 3-4 years. I don’t think the Astros would eat close to half his contract. If he has a .750 or greater OPS the rest of the way, I think they go into season with Walker at 1st and Correa at second unless Paredes can not play 3rd anymore. I could see the Astros including Walker in a deal for a starting pitcher that is maybe over priced. Walker had a terrible start and still strikes out too much for someone that doesn’t hit 40 homers, but he is still someone pitchers don’t want to face.
