Don't assume he will still be a plus defender in 2030.

There aren't any 1B to add. A platoon of Kody Clemens (790 OPS vs RHP) and Royce Lewis (740 OPS vs LHP) is as good as any free agent besides Jake Bauers. DH should be filled by one of their extra outfielders. They need a catcher, but they can probably get a starting 2B AND a C for the price of Jeffers. They can spend $15M on the bullpen and get 1 WAR or they can spend $15M at 2B and get 2 WAR.

They have Brooks Lee under control for 4 more seasons. His established level of talent is "average" and there are some underlying concerns that he can maintain that. I wouldn't be surprised to see us discussing whether Lee should be non-tendered in 3 years.

Houston is supposed to be the best defensive SS they have had since Greg Gagne. He will play SS. Add talent. You know what they call teams with “too much” talent? Contenders.

Turning Joe Ryan into a first baseman with an expiring contract would be quite disappointing.
-
If Houston works out, they can trade Brooks Lee or Kody Clemens. No problem fitting Arraez on the roster.

How? Paredes is interesting. Everyone thought in April that he would be squeezed out of the infield by the Correa trade and Houston had to trade him immediately. They kept him, Correa and Pena combined for 154 games, Paredes finished 2nd on the team in plate appearances, compiled 4 WAR and they miss the playoffs without him. I imagine the Astros will keep him at $13.4M. They would probably trade him for Marek Houston since Pena is a free agent after 2027. They might accept Joe Ryan 1-for-1.

What infield depth is keeping them from bringing in Arraez? Ryan Kreidler or Royce Lewis?

Here are all the first baseman clearly better over the last 3 seasons than the second basemen I listed. Bryce Harper, Matt Olson, Rafael Devers, Pete Alonso, Freddie Freeman, Vlad Guerrero Jr, Willson Conteras, Michael Busch Which one are you trading for and how are you going to get him?
-
Any of those second basemen can slide to 1B if needed (though that would be a waste of Jazz on defense). What are you trading to get a first baseman? This team should absolutely not trade prospects for veterans. Adding a free agent only costs money. If Houston develops and they have too many good infielders, that means they have assets another team would trade for. The market is providing second basemen this year.
-
2024-26 WAR totals Jeffers 6.4 Lowe 9.6 (will have QO attached) Chisholm 7.3 Torres 6.9 Arraez 5.4 I think they can get a second baseman and the comp pick for $20M less than Jeffers will get in free agency.
-
A second baseman who has a higher career OPS than Jeffers 750.
