Is that save money just this year or longer term,?
I could see a Montero and maybe Cartini?

Although the Houston Astros re-engaged in brief trade discussions with the St. Louis Cardinals regarding third baseman Nolan Arenado, multiple sources said that no deal is gaining traction, nor has Arenado's thought process changed for now about approving a trade to the Astros.Quote:
The Astros circled back with the Cardinals soon after franchise cornerstone Alex Bregman agreed to a three-year, $120 million deal with the Red Sox, according to multiple sources. One source described a discussed deal between the two teams as a "non-starter."
Another source called it a "long shot" that the Astros acquire Arenado, who blocked a trade to Houston in early December. MLB.com first reported on Saturday that the Astros had re-engaged with the Cardinals.
Bumping this for the next page, looks like no deal.
I'd rather have Caratini than Dubon, especially with Rodgers on the team
Dubon is a good clubhouse guy and a great back up. He brings value, but it's either him or Caratini for clearing cap.
Someone's reporting is wrong. Tags says he'd be willing to revisit the trade and possibly accept it. Chandler says no way he even considers it.
Walkoff HR. Easiest yet for me.

I think That scored more runs in 1 sac fly than our boy Joe Joe has career sac flies.

That's interesting except for Rodgers' opt out clauses. If he walks in mid season we lose the utility option.
he only has the opt out if he isn't on the 26 man, I believeMathguy64 said:MaxPower said:

Based on what I'm hearing "Longshot" would be an accurate way to characterize a deal getting done. Talk had, per source, but unlilkely it actually ends up in a deal. https://t.co/9y9mpZmZ6J

Watching two at bats today…Cam Smith is a large LARGE human being. I already came wait to watch him this spring and really hope something clicks and fast.
There is nothing more exciting than tracking new young talent and waiting for it to click and for them to arrive.
Maybe that's a leftover of watching this whole thing be built but it's my favorite part of baseball.

Espada says Taylor Trammell has a “pretty significant” calf strain.

So long Taylor
If the Astros do trade for Nolan Arenado, which at the moment they are stalled, how about this lineup?
— Michael Schwab (@michaelschwab13) February 23, 2025
Altuve - LF
Paredes - 2B
Alvarez - DH
Walker - 1B
Diaz - C
Arenado - 3B
Peña - SS
McCormick - RF
Meyers - CF
Unlikely I know... But...

Brian Kenny is such a Northeast homer. He has good point on the defensive metrics here, but it comes across as a hot piece against a HOF player. McTaggart had a decent rebuttal.
The Astros are trying Jose Altuve out in left field 👀

He's on the 40. Put him on the 60 day and open up a spot.
FWIW- I'm not saying an Arenado trade is "likely" but I think it's way more likely than Chandler is indicating.
I've seen some negativity here around the Arenado scenario. What is the concern? I like the idea of it.

Do you know if the hangup is on Nolan approving or on agreeing to the components of the trade (players/money)?
A couple things: he's relatively old & we're still paying Abreu's terrible deal, Montero is (currently) also on the roster. LMJ's injury is costing us. None of it is our money, but considering we are hellbent on staying out of the CBT, taking on another aging & declining player.
Jose's massive and quick decline gives further reason to be gun shy. Arenado has shown some pretty significant decline the past few years.
Also, he didn't want to be here earlier, so screw him.

Though no deal appears imminent, the #STLCards and the #Astros are discussing a Nolan Arenado trade again. Arenado flexed his no-trade clause and squashed a deal with Houston back in mid-December. Still, the two sides appear motivated to find an accord. https://t.co/mF4Sn4kh8K

Pedro León has been scratched from the Astros lineup and replaced by Quincy Hamilton. León appeared to injure himself during an outfield drill today. Saw him walking into the Astros' clubhouse under his own power with a trainer. https://t.co/xKD3FK1ZTr
— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) February 23, 2025
Pedro León has what the Astros described as "left knee discomfort." The season can officially begin.

Yeah I've seen this movie before where it's a long shot but when two sides keep talking this much there obviously is interest in a deal. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it happens.texasaggie2015 said:

Yanier with a single in his first at bat, go ahead and give him the silver slugger
Spring training for the broadcast team too I guess.

Remember when it was a long shot that Alex takes a deal less than 200M and 6 years? Hmmm....yeah, the long shot talks just sound more like posturing from one side to get a better deal....
