One idea i really like is having Whitley come up and be closer if Giles doesn’t fix his location issues, similar too the 2006 use of Adam...
Marwin & morton
I’d still prefer waiting till next season with McCann, Sipp, Gattis, etc coming off the books and a huge kick in revenue. Astros could be looking...
I don’t believe they have any intent of signing Darvish, it’s either a ploy to drive up his contract and take a major market team out of Keuchel...
If Moustakas has to settle for a 1yr deal, I’d like the Astros to offer the largest sum. Worth losing that draft pick. Still keeps a window open...
How about Gattis and not spending unneccesary amounts of cash trying to improve a lineup that’s already by far the best in baseball and instead...
Would rather trade for a LH hitting LF, a starter with multiple years left on a contract, a backup/Future 2019 starting catcher, elite LH reliever...

Jake McGee re-ups with Colorado. Some guys just like being a big fish in small pond
I’d suspect it’s done and things are going through league office, presser being sit up, etc
I love all this!
Marwin has been a great player for multiple seasons. He’ll probably get 40-50 mil on the FA market
I’d be for it in June, July, mid-August then shifting back to get playoff ready. 18 extended Games is in play again. Forrest Whitley would be my...
