Almost certain Nashville is the next city getting a team. Then Portland or San Antonio (a central Texas team in New Braunfels could be huge but I...
Probably a fair trade. Houston should only do that if they don’t think Melton will reach his ceiling. I expect Chicago to want to compete next...
1: Altuve 2: Tucker 3: Alvarez 4: Elite hitter capable of playing 3B or CF 5: Diaz 6: Singleton/McCormick platoon 7: Pena 8: Solid veteran hitter...
Price went 1-4, Deming 0-3, Torres 1er in 0.1ip gave up the walkoff
If I were to bet, my money would be on Houston signing one free agent bat and trading for another using upper level pitching prospects. Also, I...
For everybody but Kouba it’s a full month sample. It’s not definitive but it’s a meaningful sample, as pitcher stats go. Reality is that...
I think Houston’s AAA and AA depth is much better than it was going in to last season: Blubaugh: 2.79 era in 4 AAA starts in Sep Gordon: 1.52 era...
Altuve probably has at least 2 more seasons of being able to play 2B 100+ games a year. And yes, he is not viable elsewhere and Alvarez needs to...
Astros get: 2B/LF Brandon Lowe Rays get: C Victor Caratini OF Chas McCormick RP Shawn Dubin
If there’s no good answer at 3B I wonder if Houston might check with Boston to see if they want to dump Trevor Story. His value is way down but I...
That would be a ridiculous overpay by Houston.
It’ll be interesting to see where Houston ranks when fangraphs updates 2025 depth chart projections after the World Series. My guess is that...
Ullola is the only player sure to be added. Gordon is the only player I consider to be a rule 5 risk.
At some point the farm has to be allowed the resources to develop the home grown stars required to open a new window. But of course it’s all...
A LOT can change in a year, especially with regard to prospects. By this time next year, Matthews, Dezenzo, and Melton could be really good major...
As the days pass, I think the Astros are in better shape than it seemed. I don’t think Houston should overreact to the number of starting...
Yes. I don’t really think they’re in a “mess”. Their dead money is all short term (2025-2026). They have a good team that projects for 85-95...
Their GM has a short but great track record when you analyze just the moves that were his. Abreu, Montero, and Hader deals were led by Crane....
Yes 4th rounder.
I don’t see any Astros players ripe for extension. If Yainer Diaz were open to a Cristian Javier type of contract then I’d do that, but I doubt...
