[Official] Astros Offseason

Blindhog on a message board believing something doesn't make it true. That world would be a lot cooler if it worked that way though.

 

If we end up trading Paredes for a noticeably worse hitter who " fits better" I'm really not gonna be thrilled.

 

Do Houston Pro Sports teams tend to gravitate toward "stupid," or is it just my imagination?

 

The numbers may not back this up but glad we didn't get only Donovan for Paredes.
Feels like an underpay for Paredes.

 

But he quoted you twice, doesn't that make it extra true?

 

Dana better not get fleeced by Red Sox. Tired of the Red Sox and their unreasonable fans trying to dictate terms of any deal. They’re the ones who are so eager for him but they don’t want to give up anything of worth for him. Now they’re straight up lying about him to downplay his value.

 

The guy is 26 lol. Wrong side of 30?

 

Is this Paredes’ final year of arbitration?

I know, I should know this.

 

I think that the Astros have him for two more seasons.

 

Dana if u dont get what u want. Please pull out. We are the ones with the surplus of players. We dont have to make a trade. Would it better for us? Yes. Altuve at 2nd, Yordan in LF, and Paredes at DH and let's roll unless they overwhelm u with a crazy offer.

 

Then I say don’t trade him

 

Keep him and dangle him at the trade deadline if necessary . No point in trading him for lesser value now. Astros hold the upper hand IMO

 

That sounds like every fanbase ever. And unless MLB front offices are really, really stupid, fanbases don't get to dictate the terms of any deal. Why are people upset with the Red Sox trying to negotiate the best deal for themselves? Shouldn't every team try to do that?
