The Astros will be after an Outfielder this winter

The Stinking Astros are likely in on the OF market this off-season given the depth they have and Brantley going under the knife.

That was my thinking. However Brantley was a left fielder. I see no reason why Jerry couldn’t outbid everybody and little history to prove it. Likely Judge will not be a Mariner

I can't see the Astros going crazy to sign Aaron Judge to an eight-year deal (or longer) at 37m+, which I think is where his market is sort of roughly estimated. I'm not sure who is going to go that high if the Yankees won't.

He will be 31 yo next April. Not old but not young for a FA. Pujols was 32 yo his first year with the Angels.

Why would the Astros break the bank for Judge if they wouldn't do it for Correa? And the Pujols contract was terrible for the Angels.

Agree. What is your best guess?

They'll probably make a trade.

Actually, Haniger might be a fit for them on a two-year deal or something like that. Benintendi and Nimmo will be available as free agents as well.
