2016 Random Astros Trade Ideas

"non-physical" clubhouse incident. Weird. Maybe Kenny Williams mouthed off again.

 

They said it was the flu though....

 

Rangers would be crazy to say no to including Profar for Sale

 

But this is the Rangers......so anything is possible.

 

That's a much better trade than Profar and Gallo.

 

Looks like someone is pissed about all of the South Oklahoma Rangers rumors.

Depends on who else is in the Rangers package.

 

They probably did but the White Sox told them to **** off.

 

Astros broadcast just said that Rangers brass is gathering to discuss a trade for Sale. Looks like it's happening. Not good news for Astros.

 

No idea if true, but if so this is hilarious:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Not a joke: Source says Sale blowup was because he didn't want to wear throwbacks, so he cut the jerseys up so no one could wear them.</p>&mdash; Tommy Stokke (@StokkeTommy) <a href="https://twitter.com/StokkeTommy/status/757000213731037184">July 23, 2016</a></blockquote>

If the Rangers end up with Sale we are in all sorts of trouble.

 

Depends what their giving up. If they mortgage their future, our path in the future becomes that much easier.

 

How would they know? Nobody in Dallas is reporting this, not mentioned on the Rangers broadcast.

 

bregman/k tucker/white would get it done definitely

 

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chris Sale coming out and saying he now wants to be traded, thus killing his trade value, would be a very <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WhiteSox?src=hash">#WhiteSox</a> thing to happen.</p>&mdash; Tommy Stokke (@StokkeTommy) <a href="https://twitter.com/StokkeTommy/status/756988304403238912">July 23, 2016</a></blockquote>

This. The Astros could easily beat whatever the rangers are offering but no one player is worth burning down the farm.

 

i heard that too but I'm not sure they mentioned the part about sale

 

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Source: &quot;Sale asked that they not wear (throwbacks) on his day because they are uncomfortable. Things escalated when they wouldn't relent.&quot;</p>&mdash; Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/757005141581193216">July 24, 2016</a></blockquote>

For what its' worth, Sale has had an ERA of 4.67 over his last 10 games. And I hear he hates throwbacks.

 

that's why you go with 100% cotton.
