Janek had a double and a homer (his 3rd in the fall league) in that game. Janek and Brito are really showing well.
Which teams might be interested in Houston’s potential trade chips: Pena: Yankees, Blue Jays, Brewers, Tigers, Braves Diaz: Phillies, Padres...

The main downside is that because it’s a big league deal, he takes a 40 man roster spot all offseason and if it doesn’t work out it’ll be more...
C/1B Will Bush was added to the Astros Fall League roster.
He was a pretty durable effective RP over 23-24. At $1.35M it won’t take much at all for him to provide surplus value.
Could be a great signing. 97th percentile velo. So he’s got stuff to work with. But he seems like he might be a lot like Whitley. They must...
Love it if Cole and Smith pan out. Otherwise there’s significant risk in the lineup. But that pitching staff is money. The salaries aren’t...
Yankees get: SS Jeremy Pena CF Jake Meyers Astros get: P Luis Gil P Cam Schittler SS Anthony Volpe

So the comp for Javier that you’re relying on to make your point is…Shohei Ohtani. Cool. No team is going to willingly commit $40M+ to a pitcher...

There’s zero chance Javier would get $43M/2yrs if he were a free agent. He wouldn’t even be among the top 10 SP available. He’s coming off TJ...
Astros pitchers got in the Arizona fall league game on Friday. Anderson Brito went 2.2ip, 2er, 3bb, 5k. Hudson Leach went 1.1ip, 0er, 0bb, 3k....
