We need to go at least 8-11 over the next 19 games That would get us to 15-30, and we know 15-30 can be good enough to make it to the Series
I'm not talking about trading away top players. I'm saying that's when adjustments like - DFAing Abreu, and changing out some AAA type guys may happen along with maybe considering coaching changes. Until then BAU
Astros get: LF Andrew Benintendi RHP Maximo Martinez RHP Luis Rodriguez PTBNL $6M White Sox get: 1B Jose Abreu PTBNL
Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette. BTW, the pitching is getting healthy, they're only 5.5 games behind, the season isn't even close to over. Fans around these parts are spoiled.
I'm not familiar with the 2 prospects, but Chicago is a team that does not want to be down too long. By not having Benentendi or Abreu on the payroll in 2026 that opens a lot of possibilities. Much better than having Benentendi on the books through 2027. Probably irrelevant now that they signed Walsh.
Since we suck again, some more hypothetical sell-side trades: Twins get: SP Framber Valdez RP Ryan Pressly Astros get: SS Brooks Lee P Charlee Soto P Matt Canterino IF/OF Austin Martin Royals get: OF Chas McCormick Astros get: IF Yandel Ricardo P Blake Wolters Giants get: SP Justin Verlander $10M Astros get: 1B Bryce Eldridge SS Aeverson Arteaga
