I'd roll with the pitching we have [hope to get one or two of Garcia/Javier/Spaghetti/France back and rolling] and just go for another bat.
JRam needs to demand a trade anyway and use his NTC to force a move to join his Dominican brother Framber.
I’d be so stoked with kwan. They are sorely missing more bat to ball type guys. Think how many times we fail to move the runner over.
Where are all the moves for non closing relief pitchers? So many teams need help, are we just going to get a bunch of moves in these last 3 hours?
The worst ran organization in baseball. The almost entirely hire internally and breaking into the White Sox organization only happens if you are related to or friends with someone else already in the organization. They actually shut down their stats department and analytics department for the off season until like a year ago. The entire group literally did nothing for like 3 months.
It’s one of the reasons I’d have hope for Luis Robert breaking out. Look what happened with Andrew Vaughn. The White Sox and Rockies are the only teams left that regularly get abused on roster moves.
With all of these rumored trade discussions “dying down”, kind of matches the narrative that The Stros’ just don’t have very attractive trade chips for what they want to buy
Any time the Astros get linked to anyone by these insiders, I pretty much cross that person off my list as someone we're going to get.
I heard the Mets are in on Correa as well and hoping to offload their Bonilla contract in the process.
Not sure about that, outside of the Mason Miller trade there hasn’t been one Houston wouldn’t have been able to match or beat. Houston is just smart. They’re not going to get taken advantage of and they’re willing to walk away from a deal they don’t feel really good about. That might very well lead to disappointment for us, but it’s why they keep winning.
Really? Correa has always had injuries? Man I never knew that. I seem to remember him playing 162 games every year. He’s not the same hitter anymore.
I just think that if they really do move Kwan, other organizations have that ONE prospect to headline a deal that is way better than Matthews, as a prospect at least
And it's the luxury tax apron we are trying to avoid. Thus you get a player like a Urias. At this point a low cost bullpen depth piece might be in the offing and we will call it a day.
