It would be lunacy to trade Chas unless we are sellers.  FO malpractice. Jake & Julks, yes. 

Dubon has played himself into being too valuable of a multi-tool for a contender to trade away during a run.

The Cards have a much deeper and richer history with Houston baseball. The Dodgers and Reds were "rivals" for less than a decade beginning in the late-70s. Still, Houston and St. Louis have been intertwined since 1919 with the Houston Buffs - the first minor league team affiliated with a Major League franchise. The Houston and St. Louis rivalry of the NL Central era was also a more significant period in Astros' history.   

Shout out to Victoria and the Crossroads.

We were in the NL West from 1969-1993. 25 years.

We were in the NL Central from 1994-2012. 19 years.

Granted we had a long tradition with St Louis via the Houston Buffs, but how many still living ever saw the Gashouse Gang play? It seems after the 30's few of their top players went through Houston. Stan Musial, Enos Slaughter, Red Schoendienst, Marty Marion, Curt Flood, Bob Gibson never played for the Buffs. Kevin Boyer spent one season in Houston.

Depends on who we get back.

Everyone has a price/no one is untradeable

 

(well, except maybe Whitley but that’s an entirely different discussion)

 

[BornOrange 1441]

And why the fuck is Brown talking to media about trade plans?

Just say something generic like, "We are always looking for opportunities to improve our team."

[mbtex 683]

Fuck Lasorda He kept Jim DeShaies from striking out the first 9.

Hopefully he gets there quickly. Preferably tonight. 

[Scraps 13561]

Maybe they can get Alvarado or Robbie Ray next

[David Dennison 18854]

That's a decent pick up if he stays healthy, but the jokes just write themselves.

Chas for an Ohtani rental? Oh, all right. 🤣

I think it’s more the health of his head than his body. He pretty much vanished rather than pitch in playoffs last year. Altuve may have broken him from ever wanting that pressure and smoke again. He’s done well in KC with no pressure. Lights just got turned on but the Altuve nightmares are real.

Friend said she saw some Scherzer rumors on another board for Chas or Jake.

Look, even if it's going to take Jake and Chas and Montero to get Ohtani, I think you have to do it.

[tx 3 putt 76908]

Surly thread would bitch about trading Chas’s WaR for ohtani and Schwetzer

[TexArcher 37774]

Hahahahahahaha, boooooooooo muthafuckas!!!

[runthebone 7978]

Every time a pitcher throws a hittable first pitch fastball to Altuve, I get a chubby

[TexArcher 37774]

Okay, so Gray gets 2 inches off each side of the plate.  Cool.  So cool.

[tx 3 putt 76908]

These Ranger unis are bad 

[WBT 20562]

What do y'all think are the worst city connects?  Just asking, no reason.

They look like if Rice was in the Japanese League.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

I just love how often that "get me over" first pitch heater to 27 ends up being a "get me over the fence" result.

At least it doesn't look like the Astros got dressed in the dark with their city connects.

[Rip76 4925]

Lot of confidence in Blanco.  Lots.

[David Dennison 18854]

Walks are bad.

Maximizing trade value.  Are you watching, Angels?
