ESPN.com's MLB experts have weighed in with some bold predictions on what's about to go down this week at baseball's winter meetings in Nashville:

David Schoenfield: Astros will land Chris Davis, Aroldis Chapman

The Houston Astros have been quiet this offseason, but they have the financial flexibility and minor league system to make some big moves. First, they're going to trade for Reds closer Chapman to lock down those late innings and create more depth. Then comes the big move: They sign first baseman Davis to a five-year, $115 million contract, giving them the big left-handed bat they need. They can then trade first-base prospect A.J. Reed for a young, controllable starting pitcher.
