Madris has a contract period that already had begun. He has 2 options remaining. He will be in the minors, but his contract status requires him to...
Do you really think the Astros would make Yuli wait this long to sign as a backup? Yuli said goodbye the day we signed Abreu.
All that work and we’d still have one of the worst catching situations in the league. :D
The ultimate shake up: Brantley to RF Tucker to CF Altuve to DH Bregman to 2B Correa to 3B
You misunderstand my comment. I am saying Lourdes does not fit well here. We have Dubon too. We do not need 3 mediocre fielding LF.
Lourdes would be a 3rd LF to swap with Alvarez and Brantley. He is a mediocre fielder.
Subtract Teoscar and Lourdes. Add Varsho and Kiermaier. Defense improves, offense takes a step back.

There are not 2 openings.
Meyers and S Martinez
Also, Dubon played 45 games in CF. Get ready for more of that! o_O
Chas played 60 games in CF last season. HALF of his games played were there.
Catcher 100%. LF and DH need to stay healthy.
I agree. I don’t think signing a replacement CF would have been wise. But addressing our C and maybe adding a P would have been.

There is a lot more risk that 4 rookies and Maton+Meyers bust than our veterans fall off a cliff.
Catcher is projected to be an issue in 2024 and 2025 as well.
CF is a concern if the Astros don’t play McCormick 120 games in CF. They haven’t shown that level of confidence in him yet.
If we are lucky.
