Pretty terrible.
And it'll take more than those 3 to get LuBob.
If we trade Pena theres already a gold glover on the roster to take his spot.

Dubon could handle it for 2024 I think. He'd be one of the better 9 hole hitters in baseball.
I say I'd be willing to part with Pena but as I said in an earlier post only for a guy like Robert. I still see Pena as a valuable piece moving forward but not "untouchable" if the right deal comes along.

If we trade Pena, what about seeing what it would take to get Peraza from NYY? Cashman has said with Volpe, they don't really have a place to play Peraza.
If the Astros trade for Luis Robert, I am absolutely calling him LuBob.Farmer1906 said:BadAggie said:tjack16 said:

Hoskins def an interesting backup option now https://t.co/RCu2G5x6wK

Backup to whom? He's much better than 2023 Abreu. We have no money for him and nowhere to play him.
There are a ton of clueless people on Astros Twitter. Even the "experts" are morons.
Trade Pena in a package for Roberts
Slide Bregs to SS
Sign Chapman to man 3B

And I'm sure I'm in the minority but I'd trade Diaz before HB. Think HB has ace stuff and you're selling low. Diaz value is elite and catchers get hurt a lot.

And pitchers don't???
I'd ship out HB before I did Diaz.
It's easier (not easy but easier) to find an ace than it is a catcher with the skill set of Diaz.

Agreed power and average hitting catchers who can throw seeds are few and far between. They are way more rare than aces.
I don't want another White Sox player. Terrible culture of underachieving over there.
This would presumably remove Eric Young as a candidate for the Astros’ managerial opening. https://t.co/PyOMG98kiv

A stomach ailment has felled some 10% of the executives at MLB’s annual offseason kickoff. It’s serious enough that the league considered ending the whole thing early. The GM meetings have become the GI meetings. https://t.co/JFQsanfp1G

The following #Astros minor leaguers have elected free agency:

RHP Ronny Garcia
RHP Diosmerky Taveras
RHP Angel Macuare
RHP Gerardo Bojorquez
RHP Heribert Garcia
RHP Enoli Paredes
RHP Jake Cousins
RHP Matt Ruppenthal
RHP Joe Record
RHP Geraldo Cabrera
LHP Juan Pablo Lopez
C…
Wasn't Joe Record supposed to be a future relief stud?
Notes from the GM Meetings include the Astros' precedent for pre-FA extensions with Scott Boras clients, the search for a backup catcher and Dana Brown's assessment of the Astros' struggles at Minute Maid Park in 2023 (and the batter's eye) - https://t.co/CipR2LRfwZ

Tim Anderson 2 year deal
If we sign Maldonado as a backup I'll be so mad…
If Diaz gets hurt I can't deal with another season of him batting

Big no from me, dawg.

That would be a beating
Tim Anderson? Interesting as a potential reclamation project.
Problem is I don't see the personalities who would put him in his place in the clubhouse if that was an issue.
You'd have to sign him to a 1 year smallish prove it deal and cut him at the first sign of dumbassery.

Seriously? Was Pena's season that disappointing that we're willing to take a such a shot in the dark?
It was in reference to potentially trading Pena.

Editor's note: More people developed symptoms on Wednesday afternoon, meaning the ailment stems from a virus rather than a foodborne illness. As a result, MLB canceled the remainder of the GM meetings.
This never happened before the rangers won a world series...
