    Texans acquire Stefon Diggs

    It's not pink salt he's talking about ... it's pink cocaine. But yes, pink salt is just NaCl with a different hue.

    Astros sign Christian Walker

    Thank you! This provides even more encouragement and matches the 'eye test' - Yanier is clearly trending towards being the 120-130 OPS+ hitter we...

    Astros sign Christian Walker

    [Official] Astros @ Guardians

    I think the opposite - the path to the break is easy and reinforcements will arrive after. I think we go on a tear. But my point is that, if I’m...

    [Official] Astros @ Guardians

    I sure hope they don’t do this. The division doesn’t matter much - top-2 matters. Having one fewer series essentially doubles the title odds. I’m...

    2025 Season Astros General Discussion Thread

    Nets could look to package Cam Johnson in a trade to acquire a 2nd lottery pick, per NY Post
