Pena made this a decent draft. But without him it's a bust: Seth Beer was a bust Jasyon Schroeder was a bust Pena was a home run Alex McKenna...
This draft didn't exactly do a lot to keep the window open. Jake Meyers is the only player still in the organization from this draft: JB...
Was this the draft that started the downward long term trajectory? There are no players from this draft left in the organization. Forrest...
Depends on cost and I wouldn’t want him to be the main SP added but as a SP3 I’d like him.
To me, Brown’s comments are probably reflective of the feedback he’s gotten from other teams in early discussion this week: no interest in taking...
By the projections, Sanchez is a better player than Yaz. Over roughly a full season, Sanchez projects to be a 109 wRC+ hitter worth just under 2...
I am not disheartened by the idea of optioning Smith to start the season. Getting back that extra year of team control (which would be his age 28...
Yep, Paredes’ injury clouds the situation. If he’s at risk of missing significant time then it totally makes sense to hang on to everybody.
Brown also publicly threw cold water on the idea of trading Paredes or playing him at 2B. He said they are not trading from their infield...
Odd thing for Dana Brown to volunteer. Could be nothing more than gamesmanship but hopefully they feel good about Paredes playing 2B (or they...
Pretty good idea and could actually be close to realistic.

Dana Brown was responsible for drafting 2 of the top 5 vote getters in the NL ROY voting this year. Braves catcher Drake Baldwin, who won the...
With Buxton open to waiving his no trade: Astros get: CF Byron Buxton SP Joe Ryan $5M/yr in 2026-2028 Twins get: 2B Brice Matthews C Walker...
James McCann or Elias Diaz or Christian Vasquez would be fine as the everyday C provided the rest of the lineup is very good. None of those guys...
Theres several instances over the last ten years of Houston showing strong interest in a big free agent only to end up bowing out once the big...
# of pitchers who threw >40 ip for the Astros over the last 5 seasons: 2021: 12 2022: 13 2023: 15 2024: 12 2025: 14 # of pitchers who started...
Both Diaz and Meyers are flawed players. Diaz is coming off of a season where both his bat and defense took a step backward. He was the 21st...
It is reasonable to consider it an overpay. Opinions probably vary pretty wildly on Diaz and Meyers.
