2015 said August for Tuck and probably Sept for JV.
Salvador Pérez was willing to go to the Rangers at last year’s deadline. He and the Royals are glad it didn’t happen. With @rustindodd: https://t.co/Bw6SuQejSe

so no Tucker for the rest of July
he'll miss series vs. the Mariners, A's, Dodgers, and Pirates

Even if he felt 100% today, I'm sure the 'Stros would want him to do a rehab stint.Wabs said:

He won't be back for at least another couple weeks if not a little bit longer.
Broken legs take time. Don't want to rush it and end up on the IL with "discomfort" come playoff time.texasaggie2015 said:

Just realized I didn't address the A's portion of this.EastCoastAgNc said:
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
I haven't had any names mentioned to me, but Jack Sears would make sense as a backend starter who can eat innings.
That said, the interest in Brent Rooker is very real and they've had several conversations with the A's on him.
Rooker sounds like a move for this year and post tucker. And since he's a RHH corner OF that means either Chas is gone or Jake is gone and Chas is in CF full time. If they get Rooker I'm leaving Jake in CF. Love ya Chas but you are the odd man out.
Find a RHH guy to play 1B. I'm begging you Dana. Find someone to split time with Big Jon.
And find a starter who can eat innings.

Just no clue who would take Chas at this point for anything worthwhile.
The white Sox probably would

We have a RHH to play first. Multiple in fact. Both the catchers and Dubon
Don't get me wrong. I love what Dubon brings in terms of roster flexibility. But he's not what I want from a RHH 1B.
Correct.
I think the Rooker interest means two things. Either...
1. They think he can play first base (he played some first in the minors) and he may be the long term answer there as he has years of team control.
Or
2. They anticipate moving an outfielder (Chas, Jake, Loperfido) for an upgrade elsewhere. I know Loperfido's name has come up a lot in trade talks. It wouldn't be fun to move him, but it could make sense if you got Rooker and included Joey in a deal for an arm with team control.

Has he ever played 1B? From our track record, we seem convinced you need to be a Mensa candidate to play the position…..Mathguy64 said:

Astros reliever Tayler Scott needs to be getting more love.

Here's where his 4 seam ranks (min 300 thrown, all pitchers)
AVG: .089 - 1st
SLG: .107 - 1st
wOBA: .183 - 1st
Arm-side run: 16.1" - 3rd pic.twitter.com/M7qyu77hH9
Rooker would be nice if the price is right
I hate the idea of getting rid of Loperfido. He's been good and has a lot of upside. He's the Tucker replacement IMO

FWIW- I know the fans are a lot higher on him than Dana is long term

The original company line was a whopper of a lie. Like, Dana-should-go-into-politics type of disconnect.
no, it will be in St. Pete. They will still not have crowds at the game (after the newness wears off).gougler08 said:EastCoastAgNc said:Approved for a new ballpark! 👏

The St. Petersburg City Council voted 5-3 in favor of the Rays new $1.3B stadium.

That team has deserved so much better for years. Is it on the "right" side of the bridge now so maybe they'll get decent attendance?
The stadium needs to be in Tampa. Although the Tampa/St. Pete geography is such that it's difficult to place a stadium that doesn't make it very problematic for a decent part of the population base.
I think the stadium just needs to be in Nashville.

I don't think it's as simple as handing someone a 1B mitt and writing their name on the card.
The footwork, timing, skill set accepting throws in the dirt all take time to get right. If they haven't done it before I don't think you are just moving someone there.
The Blue Jays are expected to consider trade offers for players under contract beyond 2024, not merely those on expiring contracts.

A strong contingent of scouts will be in Toronto tonight for the Chris Bassitt-Jack Flaherty matchup.@MLBNetwork
Kevin Gausman, Vlad Guerrero Jr and Jordan Romano (before the injury at least) are three names that I know the Astros have asked about.EastCoastAgNc said:The Blue Jays are expected to consider trade offers for players under contract beyond 2024, not merely those on expiring contracts.

The size of the direct deposits he gets.
Let's hope our bats reset over the ASB. We absolutely need to make Castillo work tonight and put up runs on him. Hoping we take 2/3 and leave with a one game lead in the division
It would be amazing if this was the last weekend the Ms are in front for the rest of the season. Let's just sweep 'em!

Victor Caratini had his minor-league rehab assignment transferred to Double-A Corpus Christi today after two games in the FCL, per the Astros.

Rojas in the two-hole is certainly a choice.
Robles has been decent for them since coming over, I think. Speed at the bottom of the lineup.
