I am fairly confident Presley wouldn't waive his no trade to go to a team that is openly selling

---

Probably not but I also think he would be happy to go somewhere where he's closing.

From I gather he hasn't been too happy here since last season.

Saw someone ask on X earlier today "if you could add any former Astros to this team who would it be?"

My answer was Nolan Ryan or The Big Unit

---

Bagwell or a SP for sure. Ryan or Cole

Good time to ask the board about Oracle Park (Giants). I will be there next week and the Cubs are in town so definitely going to catch a game. Any stadium tips or must sit areas for a first-timer?

Anyone ever been to CWS game? I'll be in town for work and may have a night I can catch a game. Tickets are cheap!

I thought this was an insane thing to even ask but then realized you must be talking about the White Sox and not the College World Series.

I wouldn't go to a Sox game unless they were playing the Astros or someone like Shohei. Chicago has a lot of other stuff to offer. But yeah I'd go if I was in town when the Stros were there.

I didn't even realize until you said it.

I have ALSO been to Guaranteed Rate, for a neutral game, and quite enjoyed it.

Love that. Over/under September call up next year?

Under but this is great news.

Yeah I couldn't remember name of their field. I should have clarified.

They have solid sight lines and the party deck in the outfield is a good time. The team was a lot better when I went there so I'm not sure how the crowd will be, but it's worth it.

Yankees 1B Anthony Rizzo is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with an arm fracture after exiting last night's game after a collision at first base.

He was their Abreu, they're probably quietly celebrating that he won't be playing for a while

I was thinking it might change the trade market.

One more team that could be in on Vlad. Don't see how we could outbid the Yanks or Mariners.

I'd rather watch an Astros game against the Sox, even though catching a game at Wrigley is on the list. I think I'll only have one night so I can't do both.

No doubt

Would love to drive up the price they need to pay though.

He's still a ways away. They expect a demotion at some point before he puts it all together. He's very raw and their goal for him was to reach AA by the end of the year. To his credit, he's exceeding expectations.

Just depends on how much they'll give up. We might be more desperate and offer more.

Have you ever been to Wrigley? Love the Stros, but unless you know you'll have another opportunity to go to Wrigley sooner than later, I would choose the Cubs game in a heartbeat. It's the best stadium in America and a must visit for any fan. The atmosphere is a blast and Wrigleyville on a summer night will be hopping... The Sox are historically awful, the game will be absolutely dead, the stadium is supposed to be crap...

oh and you may get shot by a stray bullet

They also don't have to trade him if the offers aren't sufficient. I wouldn't even give a courtesy callback unless Matthews is included if I were them.

I'm already at elevated risk being in Chicago of getting shot lol. Don't really enjoy Chicago but it's for work so…

I have been to Wrigleyville and went tot he A&M bar and watched us lose to LSU in 2012. Besides the game, it was a really cool place.

You didn't need the last word but I guess in context it helps.
