I have been expecting him to be extended next season for some time now.
Pena will be.
Pena is the last Astro I would consider trading. He should be extended for another 5 years this winter. As should Brown. It costs nothing to make...
I like the young outfielders in the minor leagues and would rather push them to the majors than spend money we do not have to patch the line up....
Both poor fielding Altuve and fragile Yordan suck. Splitting DH innings between them and getting them some at bats off the bench and as fill ins...
They are not stuck with playing them every day. I really think playing each of them 3/5ths of a season is a very good way to resolve this issue....
That is on our GM.
How do you define spend? If you mean they have to go over the luxury tax you can probably forget it. After two years in a row of that the...
I prefer not to have another Yordan. I want an actual baseball player, not just a bat who is useless on the field. Now with Altuve's positional...
I see Altuve playing as a DH/bench bat over 50% of the time this coming season, much more if Alvarez goes down for significant time as I expect....
What makes you think Altuve is going to play more 2nd base. He has proven incapable there already and is only likely to get worse.
I have no idea if Yordan's best years are behind him or not. The Astros did fine without him last season while dealing with multiple injuries. I...

Maintaining their current payroll while putting a losing team on the field for three years is suicidal.
This thread is about hypothetical trades. The type that can do no harm nor any good. Just a place for discussion among friends.
No but I have been calling for him to be traded for almost two years now. After another season his value could rebound a little or if he has...
I believe the Astros farm is as good as most with regard to pitching. Pitching can be developed through teaching and training and Houston does...
Alvarez was a generational producer. His future is uncertain at best. He could bat every day next season but there is no reason to believe that he...
True but I disagree.
I don't really see Munoz on the OD roster much less lasting all season.
