besides tucker, who else could they send in return ?

 

The #Cubs continue to pursue bullpen help and have expressed interest in #Astros RHP Ryan Pressly and free-agent relievers Kenley Jansen, David Robertson, Phil Maton, Ryne Stanek, and Brooks Raley, per @sahadevsharma and @PJ_Mooney

Pete Crow Armstrong would be a good swap. We need an OF, they need a closer, so it's a clear win-win scenario. Could throw in Jon Singleton to sweeten the deal.

While I love this thread, and the posters what are the Astros playing for this season. At best the AL West title? Maybe a fever dream of a pennant before a public execution in the Fall Classic? 
 

The Dodgers are building the Death Star, and there’s no hope in sight until there’s a hard salary cap. And that won’t happen unfortunately without another lockout and a strike.

Lolwat?  Baseball doesn't work that way

Ready for season to start. Let's roll . It's baseball anything can happen in 162 games. Just would like to see the Astros win the last game of the 2025. Can't wait to get back to mmp and start the wave from section 106

I’m sure he’d be so disappointed to miss these annual caravans….

Another off season subtraction by subtraction. Is this team going into spring training better, the same, or worse?

Seems slightly worse with more question marks. Is pitching and out-fielding no longer a thing?

Yeah that's a deal we were never going to give him (Profar)

wtf

Jurickson Profar's deal with the Braves is for three years and $42 million, sources said. He'll join Michael Harris II and Ronald Acuña Jr. to form one of the game's best outfields. Braves had been quiet all winter, but Profar is a big get. @ByRobertMurray was on top of the news.

Breggy back on the menu boys

Altuve- 2B

Bregman- 3B

Yordan- DH

Walker- 1B

Paredes- LF

Diaz-C

Chas-RF

Pena-SS

Myers- CF

Still too righty heavy. Throw in a Jesse Winker in RF and let chas and Myers platoon

Winker resigned with the Mets 2 or 3 days ago. Verdugo is the most likely addition at this point, with Altuve going to LF.

I'm trying to find my post where I suggested altuve to LF and y'all all made fun of me.  To be fair it was so Mathews could play 2nd.

I mean technically we could just trade Paredes and get an OF'er if this actually goes down.

Agreed. I think they would also need to move Elvis and possibly Dubon or McCormack, preferable Myers. Need to shed payroll.

Edit: Not Happening
