Yeah, an offense that's starved for hitters should trade Alvarez? Man, I'm glad you're not the GM. 2 yrs ago Alvarez played in like 120-130 games and probably would've played in over 100 last yr if the doctors had diagnosed his broken hand properly.
I think I would remember if I said Yordan is worthless in a trade. But it is perfectly reasonable for a player to be crucial to a team's success but have reduced trade value due to a down or injured season.
Red Sox willing to deal one of their young SP's with Duran or Abreu for Paredes now with the Ranger Suarez signing?
The Astros and Red Sox have traded with each other, they have players they each covet and both need to address major roster issues. I think a Paredes trade happens.
Trading Paredes would be a huge mistake. He will be needed to cover third base when Correa is injured.
Yes, but ... not gonna get back to WS by being passive and playing it safe. There is always "luck" involved, if only avoidance of bad luck injuries. Since we can't throw barrels of money at players, we have to take some risk and hope players and trades work out as they should, based on metrics. Create optimal line up and hope that any injuries are days or weeks not months. We have a lot of AAAA players to sub in short term.
I think Paredes is a perfect player for the Astros.I prefer they keep him and find a way to get all of these guys in the lineup daily. But if the Red Sox are willing to overpay by sending us Duran and Early or Tolle, that is too much to pass up.
Correa is also a guy who without a doubt can help us get back to the WS if we get into the playoffs. Carlos can hit good pitching, and he has proven to be at his best when the lights are the brightest His HR in game 5 in 2017 is my single favorite Astros moment. ****, it's my single favorite sports moment
