Phillies Eyed as Potential Trade Suitor for Astros Shortstop Jeremy Peña

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña could become a trade target for the Philadelphia Phillies this offseason as he enters his final year of arbitration, projected to earn around $13.1 million. Peña hit .277 with an .802 OPS and 22 home runs across 112 games in 2026 despite dealing with a fractured fingertip, hamstring strain, and calf strain. He led all MLB hitters with a .348 batting average against fastballs over the last two seasons.
