I think the Astros are likely to go bargain shopping for the OF, and they may very well wait until March when they can evaluate Brantley, or pivot...
Crane said Brantley would be looked at in March.
If we get Murphy, Maldanado should be moved off the roster altogether. Vazquez is a poor pinch hitter. I went back and checked. Maldonado didnt...
You cannot take a position player and play them 37% of the time and expect consistency. You mind is boggled.
Is financial flexibility even a thing anymore?
Exactly. 37% playing time. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/video/dusty-baker-timing-wasnt-right-deadline-acquire-contreras-cubs
That was entirely due to Dusty playing Vazquez 37% of the time.

Vazquez does not want back in HOU. But yes, almost anything is better than Maldanado and Lee.
Did we not learn that Dusty is NOT willing to re-evaluate C at the deadline?

Astros see Correa’s market go stagnant and swoop in with a Twins like deal. Altuve, the humble team player that he is, cede’s 2B to Peña. Altuve...
Agreed. He doesn’t want to play here.
I think the upgrade of Meyers to Varsho is not worth the loss of Garcia or Urquidy. If we are going to pay 15M+ for a pitcher, it won’t be to keep...
