    That suggests they have something lined up with the extra payroll flexibility. Likely Bregman but getting a prospect could help if they pursue an Arenado trade again or other trades to upgrade the outfield if Bregman doesn’t return.

    Perhaps that was the condition of getting the prospect (although I expect it to be more of a project one). Also, the Bregs thing most likely changed the mindset as they realize it's worth it.

    Funnily enough, the money they could've given to Bregs to sweeten the deal most likely went to the Cubs to pay down Pressly's salary a bit.

    We’ll trade for him to come back at the deadline since our bullpen is suspect

    Thanks for the memories Pressly. Now Bregman comes back. I’ll say he resigns with Houston by tomorrow.

    A great guy. Sad to see him go, but some time a change of scenery is needed for both sides. He will look good in a Cub’s uniform

    As I thought, a project. But 20 years old ain't bad at least from Columbia. Seems like an Astros move on a starting pitcher.

    Schwab is such a drama queen. He knows the Astros likely plan to upgrade elsewhere after moving most of Pressly’s salary.

    Hader is a good dude but our bullpen will be just fine.

    You USE to be able to count on Pressly.
