At the deadline, the Astros tender seven arbitration-eligible players.

The non-tender deadline came and went on Friday and the Houston Astros did largely what was expected of them when it came to their arbitration-eligible players on their 40-man roster.

All seven arbitration-eligible players were tendered and now the Astros will have to find either a contract agreement with them for 2024, put together a contract extension or have to go to arbitration next year.

The Astros now have 38 players on their 40-man roster.

Earlier this fall, MLB Trade Rumors published its annual projections of what each Astros player that is eligible for arbitration could receive. Those projections could cost the Astros, potentially, $38.5 million. Those players include:

Framber Valdez: $12.1MM

Kyle Tucker: $12.6MM

Jose Urquidy: $3.5MM

Mauricio Dubon: $3.1MM

Luis Garcia: $2.1MM

Bryan Abreu: $2MM

Chas McCormick: $3.1MM

Arbitration doesn’t begin until January 12, the deadline for arbitration figures to be exchanged. In most cases, teams will come to an agreement on a one-year salary, or an extension, before the deadline.
