That would be shocking and very stupid. Non-tendering one of the top 10 defensive OF in the league coming off of a 2.3 fwar season set to make...
NRIs might be a valuable option for Houston add some insurance against failure of their young/unproven players. At C, a guy like Garrett Stubbs,...
I will be extremely surprised if Verlander is the only SP they add. They might only add another underwhelming option like Jordan Montgomery or...
It is totally reasonable to fear the Astros are on a downward spiral. They just missed the playoffs for the first time in 9 years, have several...
Of course it depends on how you define “true number 2 SP”, but I don’t see why you think that. Let’s say it’s a top 50 pitcher in the league....
Donovan has about $40M-$50M in surplus value. So I think it’ll take 3 significant pieces to get him. For Houston that means 3-4 players from the...
No he didn’t.
https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/top-30-arizona-fall-league-prospects-2025.html Anderson Brito and Walker Janek were rated #11 and #13 prospects in...
5-way hypothetical that fills all of Houston’s holes: Astros get: IF Brendan Donovan SS Bryce Rainer RP Huascar Brazobán SP Sonny Gray C Garrett...

Projected 2026 fwar vs career high fwar for each projected starting position player: Alvarez 5.0 / 6.4 (2022) Pena 3.8 / 5.7 (2025) Correa 3.6 /...
Hard truth is that the Astros don’t have enough money to buy what they really need to make the jump from 2nd tier team to 1st tier team, they just...
Non-tender candidates Houston might be interested in: C: Garrett Stubbs Reese McGuire OF: Gavin Lux Pavin Smith JJ Bleday Jake McCarthy Jack...
If they’re gonna do that may as well make it Tucker and Cease.
Astros signed former marlins RP Anthony Maldonado. 27 year old who has posted elite k rates but bad walk rates. Killer slider with mediocre FB...
Yep, they are in borrow from Peter to pay Paul mode. Something will have to give, either the farm takes a dramatic upturn or they will have to...
Let’s say Houston after trading Sanchez and Meyers adds a ToR SP, a 7th inning RP, and a backup C with trades using prospects and/or NRI signings,...
Yeah I don’t see the upside Brown referenced. He’s a pure glove player. He has below average speed. Zero power. An average arm. He’s not...
Underrated element of this is that Dubon was a favorite in the clubhouse so Espada was probably tempted to play him more than he deserved. This...
