— Bonda (@BenOndaTop) July 28, 2023My thoughts are there probably IS already a deal in place for JV to HOU. But, the Mets are doing their due diligence down to the wire to see if they can 1.) get a better return for him AND 2.) get him to agree to go somewhere else. That scenario DOES make sense.

I forget where I read it the other day, but someone pointed out that any deal for Verlander would likely require the Mets to take on a bad contract with it in Montero.MAROON said:Farmer1906 said:I think it’s possible that what has happened is that JV has already been approached by Mets FO about coming to HOU and he has agreed.

I think he's wrong. Crane isn't paying that salary. Maybe Cohen agrees to eat some of it to get a deal done
Zach Clark, Chas McCormick’s signing scout: “I’ve had guys not be excited, say, ‘That’s all you’re giving me?’ But you could just tell he was so excited for an opportunity. He probably would have paid me, to be honest.” -https://t.co/Gm0N6puDPX

Astros: Starting pitching
The Astros would like to add a left-handed bat and a reliever or two before the Trade Deadline, but upgrading the rotation is the bigger priority for first-year GM Dana Brown. With three starters -- Lance McCullers Jr., Luis Garcia and Jos Urquidy -- going down to injury, the Astros need to make sure they can cover the necessary innings over the final two months of the season.
Quote:
Mets: Controllable relief pitching
The Mets are one of the most interesting bubble teams in the league, as GM Billy Eppler could decide to become a buyer or seller in the coming days. Either way, the bullpen will need some help in 2024 (David Robertson was dealt to the Marlins on Thursday night and Trevor Gott is a free agent, while Brooks Raley has a $6.25 million club option), so adding a controllable bullpen piece or two would address that need while also strengthening the unit for the stretch run.

Orioles remain focused on pitching upgrades ahead of the deadline, sources say.

Tigers All-Star Michael Lorenzen is one starter in whom they have interest. @MLBNetwork

2.61 ERA over his last 104 games. Pretty good.
Both teams are trying to compete so not sure what we could get to help for a playoff run. He and Eder have similar grades and we could use a lefty but wouldn't help us this year. Maybe he could be a lefty long reliever.texasaggie2015 said:The #Marlins are targeting a controllable catcher, per league source.

One player they have a positive evaluation of is Astros Triple-A Catcher Korey Lee, I’m told. pic.twitter.com/CqMqa7Feu1
I actually haven't heard this
The frontrunner for Verlander, according to one source, would likely be the Rangers...

Rangers pursued him in the offseason and he went to the Mets instead. Could have been about money but still, he's turned them down before.MaxPower said:
The question is whether he would waive his no trade to go there. Does he think they are the real deal this year and, just as importantly, next year? He has a rapport with Maldy so this might be the rare instance having him on the roster could be useful.
Any morality they had went out the window when they traded for a known domestic abuser in Chapman.tjack16 said:
I wouldn't be shocked if JV ends up in Arlington. Selfishly I'd like him to go somewhere in the NL though
Surely the morality of the Rangers org wouldn't want a filthy "cheating" Astro though right? At least that's what they claim
Well JV isn't "obese" so maybe they'll take him.tjack16 said:

Snell and Hader would be big adds. Frankly that's what Arlington should do. It solves both of their problems.
Both FA rentals so the price shouldn't be insane. Both having good years for a team that is way underperforming.

Didn't we do the same thing years back when we traded for Osuna?
