I'm in a tricky spot with this. I want a bat, but don't want to get fleeced again. Not sure what to root for.

Or the Jays wanted no part of Cabbage and his uncompetitive ABs.

Quick note on outfield depth

I'm assuming we're done or should we be furiously F5ing this afternoon?

So 3b options are:

- resign Breggy
- Dezenzo
- short term FA plug in

I'm still holding out hope that there is some plan in-place to bolster 1B...I hate how little I trust Big Jon over there, but I just don't trust him as we get into the teeth of the race.

Even when Tucker gets back, I still feel like there's a massive hole that could potentially be plugged.

Canha would be a nice cheap option

Platoon him at 1B with Singleton and you have yourself an above average 1B

I honestly don't think they want to platoon 1B because if they did they would have.

Only logic I can come up with is that when Jon sits and gets inconsistent PT then his numbers against RHP become just as bad as numbers against LHP.

Then you're not better off paying someone way more than Jon to play half the time.

What other club has had the success the Astros have had beginning with 2015?

Many of the complaints I see here are basically the Astros haven't been able to continue to turn out high level prospects while also making 7 consecutive LCS.

Consider yourself fortunate if this trade raises your blood pressure. Damn.



That was before Jim turned into Jerry 2.0. What Lunhow and Click built, is currently being destroyed. You could see the nepotism and meddling starting in 2019, when Jared Crane replaced Reid Ryan. When Click was offered an insulting one year contract, you knew the success had gotten to Jim. He thought he could build and/or even coach this team to a championship.

I appreciate what Jim did in the past, but it didn't have to end this way. I hope this team has one more run in them because the clock is close to striking midnight. I really think there are too many holes and too many needs to address in the offseason. I'll eat a happy dose of crow if I am wrong.


This is my take precisely. Add to it that Crane explicitly said he hired Dana to rebuild the talent in the minors. The jury is still out on whether Dana has done a good job with our picks, but if history shows he was just as good a talent evaluator here as in his previous stops he will have done his most important job.

As I look at this trade I really feel Crane is the problem, not necessarily Dana, because it has all the trademarks of a Crane mentality of "do a deal at all costs". I really don't think Dana clears the cupboard without some sort of ultimatum from Crane.

This is more of a fleece, compared to yesterday. Although, Rogers has more team control.

I was just coming to post the same comment. Norby and Stowers are miles better than any of the 3 we gave up yesterday

This honestly makes me feel better about what we gave up yesterday. We wouldn't have been able to match this offer.

I'd be in favor of adding Canha as a platoon guy for 1B.

ETA: but I wouldn't part with Altuve and Yordan to get him.

Ketch or someone else previously mentioned on here that Tampa wanted Hunter Brown in any deal made with Houston, but that could've been for Paredes. I assume that wouldn't change for Yandy either, and I would be opposed to it.

*edit: They wanted Brown in a deal for Paredes.

Canha would probably just outright replace Singleton as starter.

It was for Parades. Not sure what they want for Yandy.

Not necessarily. They would likely platoon at first base. Canha crushes lefties.

I don't get why the Mariners are trying to get involved other than just to troll the Astros. They already got a 1B in Turner.

Yes - no doubt Canha vs. lefties. I just question whether Singleton can exist as part of a platoon. As has been mentioned, he seems to really struggle if he doesn't play every day.

Because he could immediately upgrade two other spots of the order for them as well (3B/DH).
