    [Official] Astros Offseason

    It's actually the opposite Lance is coming off the books. Thats it. Abreu, Okert, and De Los Santos are the only other FAs.

    Cam Smith: The Aircraft Carrier

    We have not lost it yet. If he spends time in AAA ( I think at least 2 weeks before arbitration but not sure) then the Astros get the 7th year....

    2025 Hypothetical Astros Trades Thread

    Crazy idea? 9 game schedule × 18 cycles = 162 games. 1, 4, and 7) Walker 1B, Altuve 2B, Correa 3B, Pena SS, Yordan LF, Paredes DH. 2) Paredes...

    2025 Hypothetical Astros Trades Thread

    I understand all this. IMO Correa should be more productive and have a better chance of remaining healthy if he didn't play SS everyday. But I do...

    Agreed But by all accounts that is what we are hearing. Listening to Chandler Rome each of Yordan, Altuve, Walker, Correa, and Paredes have...

    Cam Smith: The Aircraft Carrier

    I think Tucker's path is exactly what Dana should have done with Cam. He wasn't ready his first time so went back to AAA for most of the next...

    I'm not sure if Correa as the starter at SS is still a option. I like the idea of him starting at 3b and spotting the actual SS occasionally...

    I think the Astros have choices: 1) Trade Walker or Paredes (with Walker being the preference but having little interest or value) 2) Make...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    I think JV will be signed if there is money for it, but if it happens its the last deal of the offseason. This may even be an agreement between...

    I am pretty sure Walker isn't going anywhere. Paredes is the guy all the teams want. And now there is one fewer team in the market for him.

    Astros trade for Mike Burrows

    I think this is a great move. I am quite confident that at least 2 of Burrows, Javier, Arrighetti, McCullers, Weiss, Blubaugh, or Ullola will...

    Astros trade for Mike Burrows
