    Belly is more of a Yankee type pickup than the Astros.

    I'm sure he'll fit right in with Altuve and Bregman.

    ZERO chance Neris accepts the option unless he's hurt.

    He will be 35, has earned, and will get a 3 yr $30M+ deal.

    Why would he play for $8.5M and then try to get a deal at 36 when he can secure 3 yrs and $30M right away.

    But on the field he is a perfect fit.

    I used to not like him but now I realize that was more about me than him; I was younger then. I realized at some point that I could do better. I hope we get him. Let's win one with him instead of having pounded his @ss. I don't want him on the Rangers. That's partial, I want him on the Astros. That's almost like adding another Tuck. Sign me the Tuck Up.

    Graveman is a decent get, but Hader would have been amazing!

    Getting Graveman doesn't Block Hader.

    Get it done

    How expensive would it be to bring back Verlander and keep him away from Rangers?

    If the Rangers actually give up real prospects let them have him.

    Houston also doesn’t do luxury tax, but I guess this will count for cover.

    Pure postering. In a way the Graveman trade is letting other teams know they have other options.
