One thing that is incredibly unlikely but possible would be to wait for Ohtani and Soto to find their homes then shop him to the teams that missed...
Yes, trading him is only justifiable if the return is huge, something on the order of what the Nats got when they traded Soto (or close to it).
Assuming what some perceive as Tucker’s laziness or carelessness is really Tucker being careful not to waste energy or get hurt is a totally valid...
Hicks at $30M/3yrs would be a fine deal and would give Houston a stellar bullpen. A lot of those SP prices look like pretty good values which...
Ah ok, so now we’re just talking about shades of grey. Fecal matter on the mound is fair game. A guy barely trotting down the line on a ground...
Hey everybody, just an fyi, any discussion of “intangibles” is off limits on this board. Hey Now! said so. We are only to discuss things that...
I don’t think it’s a good idea to count on any position player for more than 130 games in a season. Players over 35 or with extensive injury...
Hypothetical playtime distribution after Astros trade McCullers, Urquidy, and Montero for Contreras: C Diaz 100, Contreras 62 1B Abreu 120,...

If we arent going to “diagnose players from our living rooms” then why do message boards exist? I don’t think anyone with the Astros is reading...
Jeremy Pena and Hunter Brown for Dylan Cease and Eloy Jimenez, who says no? Trade gives Astros 8 legit plus hitters and 3 legit ToR SP without...
I think if they go over the tax it will be because of extensions not outside additions.
Hays is probably also available.
Yes, from the list posted, Bellinger, Teoscar Hernandez, Lourdes Gurriel, Michael Conforto, Randy Arozarena, Luis Robert, and Juan Soto are all...
Free agent OF targets: Joc Pederson, Adam Duvall, Tommy Pham, Teoscar Hernandez, Michael Brantley, Lourdes Gurriel, Cody Bellinger, Michael...
3 of Houston’s top 9 prospects (Arrighetti, Gordon, Kouba, per mlb.com) are starting pitchers slated to begin 2024 in AAA. There are 2 others in...
Obviously he is a great player who consistently produces in the regular season. And he’s not exactly a problem off the field; in fact I think...
