    Unfortunately any deal I feel like it would start with Hunter Brown. With Verlander likely walking I say no way. Rather spend the money on Benintendi/Nimmo. We need to hang on to our best prospects if a player of need can be had in FA. Also need to be thinking about how we will pay for Bregman/Altuve in 2 years and keep some flexibility in the payroll by replacing players with cheap Minor league talent

    Reynolds is a 3-4 win player with 3 years of control remaining. The package would be steep. Hunter Brown would definitely be in there. Brown, Leon, Diaz, and Whitley would be a package I think would be competitive.

    Luis Garcia, Jake Myers, Forest Whitley, and another minor league dude enough to get it done?

    Looks to have swing and miss problems, but apparently that's part of playing CF. His power looks good which compensates. 3 years of control.

    Lets just go for Judge. He's only money. Or Nimmo, if we need a lefty. He's only money too and less of it.

    It would be Whitley, Leon, Meyers and Lee

    I would expect Pittsburgh to want players with 5+ years of control. Meyers might be an interesting trade chip if a team really likes him but I wouldn’t expect the Pirates to be one of them.

    Reynolds and Suwinski for Garcia and McCormick is about even. Both are lefty Outfielders, so we can finally have a lefty PH.

    What aren’t the Astros exploring Carlos Rodon?

    Because they like the pitching staff we have and are looking to add another bat or 2. If Verlander walks, it's at least a conversation worth having

    That would be a great pickup

    I’m not a huge Reynolds fan but if a deal makes sense then go for it. I find it unlikely without a GM. I think we’d have to sweeten the pot a bit but this in interesting:



    My guess is that PIT would require Javier, and if not, Brown…and I don’t love either being headlined for Reynolds, but such is the cost for solidifying CF. I guess I’m just a tad hopeful that we can wait it out until Leon/Gilbert take over.

    I like Reynolds, but as a LF not CF.

    Unfortunately the Astros would have to pay like he is CF and also outbid other teams.

    Still if it's ONLY prospects and does not include Brown I'm ok with almost any deal

    He ran his mouth because he didn't know the facts
