The two teams almost completed a deal for the catcher at the trade deadline, but could not reach an agreement. Now, the Astros are back trying to acquire the three-time All-Star.The Astros have already made a splash in free agency by signing 2020 MVP Jose Abreu. Abreu, formerly of the Chicago White Sox, was an instant upgrade to their roster. Willson Contreras would not be in the same situational trade as Abreu.

Come come to Houston.@BleacherNation Now this im happy about. Come come to Houston.Contreras will be heading into his eighth MLB season, and could be doing so as a member of the Houston Astros. His offensive and defensive prowess would be a great fit for any team he chooses to sign with. There is still hope among some Cubs fans that he will choose to return, but that hope is dwindling. They simply cannot promise a winning situation like the Astros can.Dylan Webster@DWeb12409I think I'm gonna be sick twitter.com/BleacherNation…Bleacher Nation@BleacherNationThe Astros are reportedly going to meet with Willson Contreras next week at the Winter Meetings, so that might be getting serious: bleachernation.com/cubs/2022/11/2…1097The Astros are reportedly going to meet with Willson Contreras next week at the Winter Meetings, so that might be getting serious: bleachernation.com/cubs/2022/11/2… https://t.co/0NwdMBxcgDI think I'm gonna be sick twitter.com/BleacherNation…Eric Cooper@_2jss@BleacherNation Outside of going back to the cubs this would be the least harmful to my heart@BleacherNation Outside of going back to the cubs this would be the least harmful to my heartJustin Fields/Eloy Jimenez enthusiast@BenTheSoxFan@BleacherNation Astros just love taking guys from Chicago apparently@BleacherNation Astros just love taking guys from Chicago apparentlyThe Astros have made it clear they plan to be big spenders this offseason.
