Chandler was just on 790, said there gonna try for 2 starters. Talking about looking at the angels, Rockies and A's.

I don't know that there's anyone there that I'd want

Sure there is. They aren't looking for an ace.

Quantrill is someone they've inquired about. Tyler Anderson as well.

---

Are they good enough to help us win games though? We need more than someone to just eat innings

I like both ok. They are in garbage orgs so you also have to think of what can be unlocked. When I looked at Quantrill, what stood out is his sinker has been awful but has historically been solid to good. Can that be fixed? His splitter has been elite this year and he's had years where is cutter is excellent. Just seems like a guy where if you can get those three pitching working at the same time he could be very solid.

Anderson has an elite change up but not much else. Think you get him to eat innings but also be your bullpen lefty in the playoffs.

Tyler Anderson would be a great get.

I also like Matt Moore from the Angels.

There are pieces there worth adding.

AJ Puk has been much better now that he's back in the pen. He would be a nice get as a power lefty arm in the pen with some control.

It'll be interesting to see how we swing addressing all the beds we have, including those outside of starting pitching

He's had a couple decent starts this year. Maybe we give him a look as a cheap option to fill some innings

He has?

Shutting out the Dodgers in LA is pretty decent I'd say.

Stop teasing us!!!!

Do they have the capital to get paredes? They can't give up their young mlb pitching which they actually need more of.

Now do Kyle Tucker's numbers during that stretch

Did you see Dana's draft picks he made just earlier this week?

I meant the young pitching on the team right now. If any of them go that's a massive hit to the team this year.

I think we can include a young pitcher like Spaghetti or Bloss in a deal if we're getting a proven controllable vet back.

I wouldn't give them up for a rental.

The question is with LuAce suffering a setback and LMC never going to pitch again (a little hyperbolic but not really), can we afford to give up a contributing arm right now?

And Bloss. That trio might be decent.

This was my thought. Seems Dana knows other teams like our pitching so he's gonna have to backfill.

Hate to lose the Professor in a trade, but some key deadline moves could make all the difference down the stretch this year. Dana helped make it happen for Atlanta's last title.

Sources: The Mariners and Rays have yet to engage in serious dialogue about Seattle’s interest in adding an impact bat, but the teams are frequent trading partners and talks could advance in the days ahead.

Tampa Bay will listen on Arozarena, Diaz, or Paredes in the right deal.…

Spencer Torkelson’s future is one component to the Tigers’ trade deadline pursuits. He turns 25 next month and has a .736 OPS at Triple-A this season.

Of note: Mayo, Basallo, and Kjerstad all have played at least one corner infield position in the Orioles farm system this…

Astros open the 2025 season on March 27 at home against the Mets. The Giants come in after that.

First road trip is to Minnesota and Seattle.

The Astros won't play their first three-city road trip next season until the beginning of August: Boston, Miami and New York (AL). They'll have two over the final two months, also doing Texas-Toronto-Atlanta in September.

yep, the Astros have really been burned by the old guys -- hanging onto them way too long
