We’ll it’s also the downgrading of comp picks when you go over the luxury tax. I think Correa and possibly Grienke will both get a qualifying...
Need another starting pitcher. If this offense can be neutralized by great pitching, the Astros need that top of the rotation guy to lean on in...
Too bad they couldn’t throw in Raley for more money saving purposes lol
Saving money with Pruitts contract off the books! Even better!
Eh. I consider him slightly better than Stanek. I’m hoping you are correct at the end of season
Of course it makes sense that they won’t go over the tax for a marginal upgrade like Garcia. Now if the Astros can get a difference maker like...
I would use him for a player with multiple years left. I think buxton has another year left so I would trade Whitley for him
If Marte was traded for Luzardo, a higher caliber player like Bryant would probably require Leon or a combo of top prospects. Not worth it IMO.
Had a low era with the rangers so maybe a change of scenery and strom can fix him.
Seeing on Twitter from Cubs fans that Taylor Jones has been traded to them for Winkler and Maples
Yes, it could be similar experience with Teoscar Hernandez. I will say Graveman is a better pitcher than Liriano was when they traded Hernandez...
Graveman has similar numbers to Kimbrel at a fraction of the price. If I had to guess, the next trade will be for another reliever that’s similar...
Seattle dfa’d him not the stros. That’s why he’s not with the team. Only graveman is.
Graveman is a rental so I would rate this trade a B-. Another thing to think about is they shed some salary to make another trade and stay under...
I guess I consider Kuzma as a better trade chip. EG is old and his contract makes him a negative trade asset IMO. On the other hand, Kuzma is...
If they turned down Kuzma and 22 for 13 they sure won’t accept EG and 23/24 for 13
Well he had his workout here yesterday or this morning so yeah he would be coming from Houston.
Crazy how they still have a farm system to get deals done considering their starting rotation is all from trades and Clevinger is out too
100% agree. Especially with the Cubs looking to sell and the potential need for a vet starting pitcher next season, I would love to trade for him.
To me, Verlander shouldn’t be back next year because teams will outbid Houston for him. Yes, Crane has done right by the players but that is a...
