Kind of known since they kept on saying they wouldn't trade anyone that isn't a free agent but Jays planning on keeping both Bassitt or Gausman. So essentially only players available are starter Yusei Kikuchi and relief pitchers Yimi Garcia and Trevor Richards.
Yeah, those people are all going to be disappointed by this deadline. We were never going to outbid other teams for Crochet regardless of this.
Brent Rooker needs to be an Astro. I think he would fit in great with the clubhouse and has the bat we need.
Is it me or is "Expressing Interest" starting to sound like a solid first baseman for us? Goes right along with "Considering" at Starting pitcher and "Rumored" in the outfield. All sound like good candidates.
He's put it all together finally. 169 OPS+ Oh my Team control thru 2027. This would be the coup of all coups. I'd say you give them whatever OF they want not named Tucker + another OF top prospect.
Also 1 thing to keep in mind is I think his last couple of starts, he falls apart after 4 or 5 innings.
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-make-some-deadline-trades-2024-edition/ Fangraphs posits Paredes for Melton, Baez, Hernandez, and Santa. I would be happy with that trade.
Yeah, he’s not my first choice but his peripherals are good and I don’t think his cost will be that high. He would be a nice piece out of the bullpen in the playoffs or a tandem starter with Garcia.
Also, in that yahoo article- Reid Detmers is mentioned with the Astros listed as one of several teams to inquire. Also doesn’t specifically tie the Astros to Tyler Anderson but says many teams have inquired
He only makes 7.5 million next year. As long as we are giving up a potential all-star, I'm good with any of our outfielders.
