While I think that is a fairly light return for Framber, I do like Kjerstad and Mullins as targets. I would much rather have Dylan Beavers than...
Hypothetical for Caratini and Pressly: Tigers get: RP Ryan Pressly $4M Astros get: 2B Max Anderson Red Sox get: C Victor Caratini Astros get:...
Fair point.
I think there are some clear strengths and weaknesses in the Astros organization right now: Strengths: 1. Evaluating pitching and being able to...
Meyers hits for more power than Naylor does (and is a better overall hitter) against lefties. Plus Meyers is one of the most valuable defensive...
I wonder who says no to Jake Meyers and Shawn Dubin (or another young RP) for Josh Naylor. Astros could also toss in Singleton if Cleveland was...
Astros farm would be ranked in the 8-12 range in the league. Their 2025 roster would be ranked in the 11-15 range in the league, higher (8-12...
Astros get: IF Brett Baty OF/1B Ryan Clifford IF Jeremy Rodriguez OF Starling Marte $8M Mets get: SP Framber Valdez Astros get a 1B and an OF....

Snell just got $182M/5yrs and he’s the age and level of player Framber should be next season. Houston isn’t offering Framber that contract. They...
At this point because of the quantity of holes in their lineup I’d just as soon Houston sign 3 guys from the 3rd tier of free agency rather than...
I think Hader’s contract has a small amount of surplus value as it is. He was still one of the best closers in the game last season and he’s...
Right. My guess is that it’d be a very short list and the track record would be very good because they were players the acquiring team simply...
He wasn’t traded within a year of being drafted. And he didn’t have a wRC+ >120 as a pro when he was traded.
2017 lineup vs potential 2024 lineup: Springer : ???? Altuve : Altuve Gurriel : Diaz Bregman : Paredes Correa : Yordan Reddick : McCormick...
