    I'm sure there's a huge market for 3 players having awful seasons, one of whom is endlessly injured and making $17MM/yr for another full year, another of whom is also injured. Teams should jump at the opportunity to get these guys.

    Yeah they're stuck with LMJ.

    He's got 10-5 rights even though he hasn't played in 2 years. SMH

    I think the Astros will tell Lance you won't start anymore. Maybe Tampa Bay wants you. Lance McCullers is from Tampa, Florida.

    Tampa Bay did take Forrest Whitley.

    If the Astros take on some Salary, Tampa Bay would want him.

    Lance McCullers Jr. is not going to approve a trade. To anywhere. For any reason. Full stop.

    Tampa Bay is his Home. Why not be traded there.

    You ain't bright.

    Lance McCullers won't Start, once Garcia, Javier, Arrighetti return. Walter and Gordon are pitching well.

    Lance McCullers said he wants to start no matter what. Gotta go sometime.

    Bullpen or move on and be a Starter elsewhere.

    It's bury me in the H. Not bury me in the TB. His wife has the same view. They have a restaurant, charity, and built a life in Houston. He has a Houston themed tattoo covering one of his arms.

    Are they wearing seatbelts when it comes to a sudden stop?

    Why would Tampa Bay, one of the lowest payroll teams in the league, want a highly paid, terrible, and injured pitcher? Did you even think this through?

    There's no chance. This is quickly becoming the GARM in terms of suggested trades
