Astros get: SP Marcus Stroman RP Mark Leiter Jr OF Cody Bellinger Cubs get: CF Jake Meyers RHP Spencer Arrighetti OF Jacob Melton RHP Forrest Whitley
That looks very likely to change given how many good teenage/20/21 prospects there are in the complexes and this draft. Espinosa and Baez are on...
Kessinger’s a player
Kuhnel should starts
****!
He’s not a bad prospect and those HR from a middle infielder are nice but he is striking out nearly ten times as much as he’s walking in AAA; that...
For now the Padres and Red Sox are not gonna sell. It is unlikely that Snell, Hader, Verdugo, or Paxton are traded unless those teams have a bad...
[MEDIA] Chad Stevens is still pretty much a non-prospect, but he has at least grabbed my interest. Solid power production and premium exit...
Luis Baez went 2-3 with 2 doubles and a walk in his full season debut. Carlos Espinosa threw 5 scoreless innings with 8 k and 1 bb and 1 hit....
I agree with this but also think it’s always worth remembering that while the players you trade for might not move the needle all that much,...
That’s one interesting thing is that Houston has a prospect at each major area of need. Lefty hitting OF: Gilbert Innings-eating SP: Arrighetti...
They did, but they haven’t put pen to paper yet.

Speculating, Ochoa must’ve signed for an amount less than the amount saved among those other signed picks (plus the 5% amount they can go over...
Big time. He should be able to get 150+ pa there. If he posts a wRC+ >130 then he will likely get some fringe Top 100 love this offseason.
I think it would remain to be seen if a full rebuild would be necessary. Certainly trading away Brown and Gilbert is a devastating blow to the...
It is odd. He has 13 k/9 against 3 bb/9 and hasn’t been homer prone, plus he’s already 23. Not sure what the hold up is. Interestingly, the...
The “Jim Crane finds out he has a terminal illness and his dying wish is to win another ring” deadline: Astros get: SP/DH Shohei Ohtani Angels...
A 2nd half staff with 6 SP (Framber, TBD, Javier, Brown, France, Urquidy), 6 single inning RP (Pressly, Abreu, Neris, Maton, Stanek, Montero), and...
