They're gonna have to sign an OF if they want to do anything next year.

now move presley and i’ll be in a safe space

Chuy to RF

The poor decisions the Astros have made since winning the WS in 22 will haunt Astros fans for their rest of our lives and makes us ask “what if”. Should have won 4 WS with that talent assembled but no we have Crane content to let guys walk. Fuck him.

[Storm the Field 5357]

First team in memory to have OF take the 7-9 spots in the lineup?

[Murfdogg21 4546]

George Springer's looking pretty good now, eh fellas?

We already got enough reserved spots on our IL sorry

[UTPhil2006 3907]

Bregman and Alonso now. Do it

This would be pointless...thats an "or" situation not an "and"

Paredes already fills the other 3b/1b slot.

Id take 2 of the following: Bregman or Alonso or Walker, Santander, Teoscar

Decent trade.  Not a home run but very good value for a rental, even if it was a borderline mvp caliber player.

Astros lost a net 4 wins in RF, gained a net 2 wins at 3B, gained half a win in pitching, and added ~$10M in available payroll.  Thats the 2025 impact; a net loss of 1-2 wins, pending what they do with that $10M.  
 

For 2026 as beyond, they added ~10 wins at 3B/1B and a couple wins in pitching.

Net net they just traded 1 2025 win for a dozen wins over the next 5 years.  Like homey said in Dances with Wolves, “good trade.”

cam smith is instantly the astros top prospect 

winiski can plug several roles. astro fairy dust needs to work its magic here 

paredes opening day starting 3rd or 1st. 3rd is his better position 

yankees have money to spend on btegman 

they have to go get an established OF (LH). 

valdez and pressley are proven trade pieces 

 

[UTHornFan014 751]

I'm withholding judgment until I see how the rest of the off-season plays out. If we don't fill any of the holes in the outfield/1st base I'm gonna be pissed. 

We now have a little extra money to make a run at a free agent and a surplus of starting pitchers (can try to trade Framber for an MLB caliber player). Front office needs to make something happen. 

[Snake Diggity 4697]

Major holes: 1B, RF

Minor holes: LF/CF, SP

~$30M in available payroll.  They can use that along with trading Framber and Pressly and go into 2025 with an extremely deep lineup, a much improved farm system, and a good pitching staff that carries a lot of upside/risk.  Let’s see how the rest of the offseason plays out.  Christian Walker might be in play if his market doesn’t develop.  Hell, Bregman might still be in play.

If they move Pressly we get even more money

Rack him, Clones.

Here’s a full look at Isaac’s spray chart. If we’re not in position to play moneyball, then the best we can do is find players that suit our ballpark the best 

 

Yes I know it’s Daikin park now 😔

how soon can we get a statue up ???

[LCHorn 2749]

I think they have to move Valdez for an outfielder.  
 

Also, I don’t understand how Tampa managed to trade a decent reliever, a AAAA 3b and a lotto ticket pitcher for Paredes and the cost for us is one of the best players in baseball.

Maldy is available and wants to play another year! Heard he is a great clubhouse guy. 

[runthebone 8322]

Thanks for 2022, King Tuck.

move diaz to 1st, full time and we do need a back up catcher

Or they could sign someone who can actually play a good 1st base.

Assuming you meant Cubs in that last sentence, and 1) many wondered at the time why TB sold so low and 2) there's a top 100 prospect/recent 1st round pick and ML caliber pitcher coming with him this time.

more moves incoming. if they trade for suzuki, that ties up their hands for another move

[ChickenSandwich 9918]

AAAA status confirmed

Fuck off Brown

So Wulaw has a new Twitter handle?  He loves that surplus value shit. 

[The Earl of Texas 3211]

I'm at peace with it.

Good luck Tuck, you were fun as hell to root for.

Return on the trade is very good, IMO. And I agree, I think this means Bregman is done, since we got two guys who can play 3B.

So go get Alonso,  and then trade Presley and maybe a starter for outfielder(s) and prospects and call it good. 

[runthebone 8322]

Cubs' GM is in the last year of his deal, so it makes sense they would offer the best package for one year of Tucker.  

Hope he destroys the Cardinals. Or maybe he has a shitty year, and we sign him as defending champs!

[tx 3 putt 78441]

smart caller, tucker sucked the last two poat seasons. we need dogs on this team !

[runthebone 8322]

Just realized Wesneski went to Cy Fair

[Macklemore 2945]

Connor is right as usual about Crane and Dana. I hope attendance craters. Sell the team.

[Macklemore 2945]

I’m with Roosh

[tx 3 putt 78441]

hmmmmm…..

 

[HtownHorn 15243]

The Astros tried to sign Tucker to a long term deal, Tucker told them no every season, Tucker was always going to FA because that is what Boras told him to do. Connor is not right because you can't force a guy to sign when he and his agent are saying no we want FA as soon as possible.

Tucker gladly would've signed a 8+ year deal at $50m/yr in previous years if we bypassed his final years of club control and he went straight to $50m. He wasn't signing a deal like the extensions Yordan and Bregman signed in the past.

Lol not happening....especially when we are going to win more than last year
