High floor, low ceiling. His lack of variance in results is pretty wild.MaxPower said:
Yeah. Good trade for the O's. Basically just moved organizational depth. Elfin isn't elite so I didn't expect a huge return.
I'm reading into this as them looking at our guys and wondering what they are, since our farm seems to be a lot of "multiple position" guys.texasaggie2015 said:
The Rays are a pretty tough team to deal with. They have a pretty specific blueprint for the type of prospects they want.
I sure hope I'm wrong but I've got this uneasy feeling that both the Rangers and Mariners are going to make some deals for our trade targets before we do. Eflin has already been traded to the Orioles and he was on our wish list, and Yandy Diaz is being pursued by our division rivals. Surely Dana has got something cooking but it's tough watching rivals pick up key pieces now than later.
Have the Yankees made any moves yet?
From Joe Espada: Justin Verlander will throw another bullpen tomorrow. Luis Garcia threw a 35-pitch one today. Kyle Tucker is not progressing at the pace the Astros would like.

if Joe is actually saying that out loud this close to trade deadline Tucker prolly done for this year imoFarmer1906 said:From Joe Espada: Justin Verlander will throw another bullpen tomorrow. Luis Garcia threw a 35-pitch one today. Kyle Tucker is not progressing at the pace the Astros would like.

Eta: completely stupid to even say that publicly at this point in time.
Getting offensive help is mandatory just for insurance in case Tucker doesn't come back at all
Yeah that was pretty damning of Joe to say out loud.
Ironic the one time he speaks the truth is the one time he shouldn't have.
At this point may as well add a RFer to the wish list.

An I taking crazy pills? We know Tucker isn't doing **** yet. It's almost August. Of course this is progressing slower than the Astros want.
The Mariners and Phillies have been two of the most active teams in looking for right-handed OF bats.

Randy Arozarena went to Seattle. Austin Hays went to Philly.
Both moves diminish the options for a Luis Robert Jr. trade; Robert has a .747 OPS this month. @MLBNetwork
Astros GM Dana Brown reiterated the team’s focus is acquiring a No. 3 or 4 starter. If they do that, Brown said it would be “good mission accomplished.” Asked if any prospect is untouchable, Brown said there are guys they’d prefer not to part with, but no one is untouchable.

I really hope he's not gonna just be satisfied with a starter
Astros GM Dana Brown said the club is “working our tails off” to get a starting pitcher.
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) July 26, 2024
Also:
- He’d prefer not to trade anyone from Major League roster.
- He said no prospects are “untouchable.”
- Prices remain high. “It’s a seller’s market with a lot of buyers.”
We need pitchers....

Why can't Ted just gut it out? What's the risk? Is he just a *****?
If it takes Tucker 4 months to recover from a bone bruise, us mere mortals might die from one

The Giants, 2-5 since the All-Star break, have indicated to teams that they're willing to trade some of their veteran players.

One possible scenario: They could move an outfielder, Michael Conforto or Mike Yastrzemski, to open up playing time for Luis Matos. @MLBNetwork
Who comes back first?
A. Tucker
B. JV
C. Garcia
D. Lance
At this rate my money is on Lance.
Seriously, Garcia.

Et Tu, Tucker?
Bruce Bochy said that Evan Carter is seeing a back specialist in California for a checkup. He’s effectively shut down until they get a report back.
— Shawn McFarland (@McFarland_Shawn) July 26, 2024
“He’s just not quite coming along like we were hoping,” Bochy said.

Garcia late August , followed by JV mid September. Tucker opening day 2025… Lance will return for the 10 year reunion of the 2017 team
Idiotic. Going to end up getting nothing for him.Farmer1906 said:
No Bregman trades (duh)Dana Brown said on @WillKunkelFOX’s show that the Astros have NO interest in trading Alex Bregman.
— Michael Schwab (@michaelschwab13) July 26, 2024
Also, they aren’t talking about any extension talk during the season but Brown said they will make an offer after the season. https://t.co/igbr4uXwwW
"H-A: In return for the flattery, can you reduce the size of your signature? It's the only part of your posts that don't add value. In its' place, just put "I'm an investing savant, and make no apologies for it", as oldarmy1 would do."

Does he go straight to A ball or a little warmup in Florida Complex League?
So you would rather trade him for a couple mid-level prospects and ride it out with a big hole at third base the rest of the year?
Yup. In some cases a broken bone has a faster recovery

I imagine he'll head to Fayetteville.
Jack Flaherty has been the subject of trade dialogue between the Tigers and Astros, sources say. @MLBNetwork
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 26, 2024
Doesn't fit the mold of controllable guy, he's a rental
Bone bruise is the entire season now? Jeez, Tucker has been one of the most polarizing players for the Astros in recent memory.
Schwab tweeted earlier that we don't have interest. He's a super dork but has good sources.
I've heard that we've at least asked about him. Who knows! Crazy time of year.

And he's been relatively healthy. First major injury in 5 years. Just sucks it is happening when we need him most and our team is at its weakest
Exactly. Would we even get more than our comp pick when he leaves? Probably something similar.texasaggie2015 said:

Erick Fedde is another starter the Astros are actively considering; he is a stronger candidate for the White Sox to move if Garrett Crochet is not dealt.@MLBNetwork https://t.co/vcd4QYqQAZ

I think a lot of people don't realize a bone bruise is actually a break of sorts.
