    2025 Hypothetical Astros Trades Thread

    I'd also call Maimi. They have a handful of guys that can play second and short. Maybe you could get Stowers too - he's streaky but when he's on...

    [Rome] Pena going to IL with fractured rib

    They seem to have made a decision to go with Shay and Guillorme as the primary infield backups. This locks Altuve in at 2nd for the foreseeable...

    [Rome] Pena going to IL with fractured rib

    Caratini needs to catch more and let Yainer DH for the majority of the games headed into ASG. Screw who catches whom. I really think that a...

    [Official] Astros @ Athletics
