I agree that Soto is what everyone is waiting for, but I'm sure Boras and his firm can multi-task. Adames' deal set the bar higher for Bregman, so the Astros should make a final offer now and put a deadline on it. They sat on their hands at the deadline and it cost them dearly. They shouldn't do it again waiting on Bregman.
Choose your Affordable Alternative Combo Meal: 1B: Josh Naylor, Ryan O’Hearn, Lamont Wade, Paul Goldschmidt, Josh Bell, Justin Turner, Carlos Santana, Ty France, Mark Canha 3B: Nolan Arenado, Alex Bohm, Jeimer Candelario, Brett Baty, Yoan Moncada, Josh Rojas, Jorge Polanco, Luis Urias, Donovan Solano, Gio Urshela LF: Cody Bellinger, Brandon Lowe, MJ Melendez, Jesse Winker, Michael Conforto, Alex Verdugo, Max Kepler, Tommy Pham, Jason Heyward
This isn't what I want but the sort of off-season I expect. Pressly and a prospect to Philly for Bohm Caratini traded as a salary dump Goldschmidt 1 year 14 million Profar 3 years 46 million Altuve 2B Profar LF Alvarez DH Diaz C Tucker RF Goldschmidt 1B Bohm 3B Pena SS Chas/Meyers CF
Give me Casas in a trade at 1st and Bregs at 3rd with Lowe in LF, even if that means having to let both Chas and Meyers go. Then going with Melton, Matthews and/or Dubon in CF. What I expect to happen is Casas, Bregs at 1B, 3B and Dezenzo in LF.
The Astros must have been really impressed with Dezenzo’s three games in LF in AAA Sugerland, last year!
Or in Winter Ball this year. Dezenzo is very athletic for his size. Big dude that moves pretty well. Certainly got the arm to keep runners from advancing when a hit bounces off of the Crawford Boxes. A welcome change
