In the end no matter what you give up in a trade for Robert you end up with Robert. So the short answer is no, you can not win in a trade for Robert.
Can somebody check my math? Did Brown (who I dislike more every day) credibly replace our star third baseman and add a star first baseman for less...
We are done unless we move some payroll. You never want to go into the deadline completely broke.
The difference between pro baseball and pure baseball is finances matter in pro ball. Bregman was good enough at a tender age to warrant playing...
I love the idea of a one ear prove it deal. If it doesn't work out we will cut off your ear! Anybody willing to sign that deal would at least be...
The jury is still out, but I certainly hope not.
I don't see him necessarily playing out his current contract. He is likely to retire if it becomes apparent he is no longer able to contribute...
Brown was more than a fan of Mathews before the draft. In my opinion he considered Mathews to be a protege. I personally viewed him as a surprise...
their offer is $156m I do not believe they intend to go more.
Worth a try.

Foreseeable 29 Astros. Janeck catcher, Diaz 1st base, Gomez CF, Baez RF.
I have Brito, Peco, Forcucci,and Treadwell in my top 10 currently. None are close to ML till I get down to Blubaugh at 15.
First we only got one prospect (Smith) in this deal. He fits comfortably near the top of our minor league staff with likely a year and a half...
Highly unlikely, he has only a handful of games at AA ball.
I like Paredes, Smith, and Wesneski but still want a complex league high risk / high reward toss in.
I think Mathews is the right fielder.
