There’s a decent amount of smoke for the Royals making Ragans available, as there’s been rumors of him being traded to Boston for Duran and...
The Astros 3 Forgotten Big Bonus International Signee Infield Prospects: Camilo Diaz ($2.3M, 2023): Fangraphs org #8 prospect going into 2024,...
He is coming off injury but NOT a bad season. He had 14 k/9 and 2.9 bb/9. He had some bad batted ball luck but he was utterly dominant otherwise....
Cole Ragans currently projects to be the 6th most valuable pitcher in MLB in 2026. He was the 4th most valuable pitcher in MLB in 2024. Was...

I personally think the Astros needed to add 2 good SP. But I can see why someone (including Houston’s front office) might think they only need...
Fangraphs offers their subscribers a feature where they provide a bunch of data in a presentation format at the end of the year. I was ranked...
If Houston trades Meyers and Sanchez they can afford Suarez. They wouldn’t have money to add a bat or backup C, but they could trade prospects...
