With the 2025 MLB season moving closer towards its official opening day on March 27, the curiosity around the perfect contenders for the 2025 AL MVP also comes into the picture. With a blend of new, old, talented, and skilled faces in the roster lineup, it is way too early to make a prediction about any athlete with respect to the most valuable player title for the upcoming season. However, an MLB insider made a bold claim about the Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes for the 2025 AL MVP.
MLB insider makes a bold claim about Astros’ third baseman Isaac Paredes
Whether it is a new face in the crowd or the controversies around an athlete's free agency, every MLB season comes with its fair share of hits and misses. Houston Astros’ third baseman Isaac Paredes was traded off by the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Cole Tucker in January 2025. He signed a $6.625 million contract with the Houston Astros.
Recently, The Athletics’ staff writer Grant Brisbee made a bold prediction about the Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes in an article that dealt with the best contenders for the 2025 AL MVP. Brisbee even mentioned Cole Tucker and how it impacts the roster lineup of the Astros. He wrote in the article-
“They had a weird offseason where they’re trading Kyle Tucker, who’s one of the better players in baseball, and I get that he’s a pending free agent, but when you’re the Astros and anything other than a World Series win is a disappointment, I just think you should keep the best players in baseball while you have them.”The MLB insider also mentioned Paredes and pointed out how he stands out in the crowd of the 2025 AL MVP contenders. He wrote-
“Isaac Paredes has a swing that is tailored for Minute Maid Park, so I like that they acquired him, but not at the expense of (Tucker).”Brisbee clearly pointed out his confusion on the Cole Tucker trade, which led to the introduction of All-Star Isaac Paredes to the Astros. According to the statistics, Paredes has slugged 70 homers during his last three seasons. The MLB insider even predicted that talented baseball athletes, including former Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Yankees captain Aaron Judge, City Royals Bobby Witt Jr., Corey Seager, and Cleveland Guardians’ José Ramírez, are also great contenders for the 2025 AL MVP.
