Timeline of Astros core players reaching free agency agency: Current holes: 1B, 3B, SP3 2025: RP Ryan Pressly, SP1 Framber Valdez, RF Kyle...
Yes, from one perspective it’s clear Houston maxed out the value of Martin, Bukauskas, and Beer by trading them for Greinke, who was pretty good...
Seems like a lot of pessimism going around, and for good reason: Houston’s trajectory is negative based on wins, playoff advancement, and player...
It might be something minor, but I do think Houston will make some kind of move in the next 4-5 days.
Astros signed another Dominican prospect, OF Yensi De La Cruz, 6’2” 170lb lefty hitter. No bonus info appears to be available but this late in...
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/los-angeles-angels-top-38-prospects/ Fangraphs has started updating their prospect lists for next year. One thing I...
Not sure I’m on board with those comps. Murray was topping out at 97 when healthy so while he does have a varied arsenal like France, he’s a high...
They’ve both passed thru the Rule 5 draft before and weren’t chosen, and their stock has only gone down since. They will not be picked unless...
McNeil is under control with the Mets until after the 2027 season.
Soto, Bregman, Santander, Burnes, Snell, Flaherty, and Fried would be beyond any free agent signing Houston has ever made. The other guys...

Wade is an elite hitter against righties if he’s in the 6 hole of the lineup with a guy like Diaz in front of him and McCormick or Pena behind...
Wade to me is a great fit, assuming he won’t cost a meaningful prospect, but he is really just a more stable and better version of Singleton; sees...
I doubt 25 year old Rori Sasaki knows anything about Nolan Ryan outside of he is a HoF pitcher. He probably knows more about Koufax or Drysdale....
I will be utterly shocked if Sasaki signs with anyone other than the Dodgers. Outrecruiting Ohtani and the west coast plus knowing LA can pay him...
Depends on who they replace them with. Right now with all the free agents unallocated, the Astros project as a 90-95 win team. That will likely...
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/11/astros-sign-steven-okert-lefty-reliever.html I like Okert on a minor league deal. Good depth arm.
Astros get: 1B/3B Yandy Diaz 1B/LF Brandon Lowe IF Emilian Pitre Rays get: SP Spencer Arrighetti IF/OF Shay Whitcomb C Victor Caratini CF Chas...
Free agent shopping list: 1B: Alonso, Walker, Goldschmidt, Bell, France, Turner, Santana, Canha 3B: Bregman LF: Soto, Santander, Hernandez,...
I have wondered if there was anything in the CBA preventing a team from circumventing the CBT by giving a free agent a % ownership in the team....
