Teams like the Royals and Indians come to mind. You've got to go for it all IMO when you have a chance and realistically this move doesn't completely damage our long term future IMO especially since they are sending back $24M.
The Max Stassi deal has the potential to be sneaky good down the road. Both Rivas and Uceta (based purely off their BBREF sites) are very young with some solid performances in the DSL. Both could turn out to be future top 30 prospects for us in exchange for a guy that essentially no longer had a roster spot.
I was wondering if the Astros were able to do anything and OH MY GOD!!!! Now that's how you do a deadline!
Took us 55 years to get our first banner... We've sat through years and years of futility before... I'm not worried about sitting through it again... I'm glad we are trying to strike while the iron is hot... raising banners buys me lots of years of goodwill.
I love it. Astros know what the hell they need to do. You have all the talent in the world, go all in NOW. Don't play it safe. Winning 2 rings in 3 years will be amazing and something to keep rubbing in the Rangers fans' face.
Just wish the Texans had ownership like the Astros. Although the Astros used to be right where the Texans are. It took over fifty years to get it together. I don't have that long. I saw the Rockets win it all, twice, and I have seen the Astros win it all. Not optimistic about the Texans.
Can you imagine what’s going through José and Justin and the others when they landed Zack. They probably think today is Christmas.
I still cannot believe we got Greinke! We are preparing for another run at a title this is going to be another fun post season!
Honestly. Have not seen a team this loaded since the 2001 Yankees. If Pressly and Osuna hold up their end... it’s over
