This is speculation on my part, but I believe Houston made a formal offer to the Mets letting them know it's good thru mid-day today; they will...
Verlander, McNeil, Raley, and $35M would be a fair trade for Brown, Gilbert, and Montero. I would probably even do that deal without making them...
I love Verlander but no matter what they do it’s going to be painful for Houston to acquire him. If they take on most of his salary they save...
Trading for a controllable SP (whether Verlander or someone else) gives Houston a SP surplus going into next year that they can use to fill their...
If the Mets want Hunter Brown and Drew Gilbert they better pay ALL of Verlanders salary plus throw in Brooks Raley and take back Montero. And even...
Trading for Verlander makes it easier to swallow trading Hunter Brown for Juan Soto.
Maybe it’s straight teamwork and as soon as it became apparent days ago that Verlander was available, Crane told Brown “You fix the bullpen and...
Gonna be a pretty big mark against whoever was making Houston’s decisions this offseason if they let Verlander walk only to trade for him 6 months...
Over the last month he’s hit .277/.310/.506 for an 816 ops.
What do y’all put the o/u on Houston trading for one of the following star players: Verlander, Cease, Eduardo Rodriguez, Snell, Soto, Robert,...
Who knows how the next 23 hours will play out but prices seem to be coming down. The returns for Candelario, Canha, Sewald, and Civale all seem...

On paper it is an utter ripoff for Houston but that’s what prices are like this deadline. Giving up all that controllable pitching would put...
Astros get: OF Juan Soto RP Josh Hader SP Blake Snell Padres get: SP Hunter Brown OF Chas McCormick OF Drew Gilbert SP Jose Urquidy OF Luis Baez...
Interesting they optioned Bielak, means they definitely expect to either activate Urquidy or acquire a SP in the next 5 days, since they only have...
I have wondered if there was concern in the front office about the farm and if fingers were starting to point. It is easy to write off the Astros...
<30 hours to go
I really think the pandemic has made prospect and farm system rankings very questionable. Things are straightening out but there are loads of...
It will be interesting to see 3-5 years from now how those 4 guys pan out. I am high on those 4 guys (plus Barber and Loperfido) too and I’m...
