On Friday, Alexander posted on X, calling on the Astros to keep the Puerto Rico native. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/houston-astros...

6/21/25	New Astros Trade Idea Lands Prized Diamondbacks Slugger With Huge Need for Lefties. The Houston Astros offense has turned things around as of late, but they should not be shy about adding to it as the trade deadline nears. One of the most obvious needs on the Astros roster when looking at it on paper is left-handed hitters. Victor Caratini, Cesar Salazar, Luis Guillorme and Cooper Hummel are currently the only healthy batters that don't exclusively face right handed pitchers. Yordan Alvarez will come back at some point, but that won't be enough come the postseason. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/astros/news/new-astros-trad...

6/01/25	Astros Veteran Catcher Turning Bat Around in Big Way This Season. The Houston Astros have had a very hit-or-miss start to their 2025 season, and injury has been a significant reason as to why they have been unable to gain any momentum. While they have managed to remain above .500 at this point, they have stuck right around the middle of the pack through the first two months of the season, which has positive and negative connotations tied to it. A notable mention for this list has been Victor Caratini, who has shown flashes of elite talent throughout the season so far and has vastly improved compared to last season. While Jeremy Peña and Jake Meyers are likely the most impressive players in terms of turnaround this season, Caratini has found his stride as well.
