let's see a link that proves it..........We don't want to hear your standard bullshit about "confidential sources". If it is factual, Wheeler would be a good signing. It is a fact. Houston has been interested in him for a long time I hope we get him. |

Funny how people are making the Nats heroes now because of this. Where was our sign stealing in the postseason? Does this make the Nats better cheaters? We were the big dogs this year after the success of the last three years and the Nats were the poor orphan kids looking for dinner. |

If you are not cheating, you are not trying. Who cares? I don't believe that. The Astros won more games on the road than at home that season. This stupid report doesn't even mention that. I don't buy it either. |

Houston has been interested in him for a long time He has the repertoire of what Astos mgt/coaches like...as well as Seth Lugo...and Mets minor leagues, Smith. |

I do not think they can get Lugo but Wheeler only costs them what they would of gotten for Cole I think. Plus the $ of course. |

I am all for trading Carlos to Carlos (Mets Manager).. and getting Lugo, Alvarez (catching prospect)and Smith (LH pitching prospect).. Any monies that can be saved into re-signing Springer. |

MLB boys say a good contract for Wheeler is 5 years/$100 million but could be had for less. I would try 4 years/$72 million. |

I would vote for that and see if they throw in another player if we include Reddick to get rid of that salary. |

Elite speed, fantastic OBP skills, above-average defense, ability to play multi key defensive positions, barely making league minimum... Man, what's NOT to like so far? The main complaint against Jake is weak hitting.......Straw has not shown to be any better and hasn't shown to be the defender Jake has been. He is faster than Jake and that is about all we know......He can't steal first base. Jake has never sniffed the on-base skills that Straw has demonstrated so far. There is no comparison. |

I like Straw. I'm just not sure management does Once they start stealing signs for him, he'll be okay. |

What did you sniff before making that post? Straw has more speed than Jake and that is it.......He hasn't proven to be a more intelligent base runner...they are about equal in that department. Straw has not proven he can get on base more than Jake, and, he certainly hasn't proven he has the defensive skills that Jake has and Jake obviously has the advantage in experience. Straw is good young player with raw talent that needs to be developed. But, for you to say t hat Jake "has never sniffed" Straws on-base skills is absurd. |

Fiers got left off the playoff roster in 2017 and has been butt-hurt ever since. Then, he had a great year with the A's except the games when the Astros hammered him. |

Lmao Id watch the Padres on any of those big names. Kris Bryant, Mookie Betts, Franciso Lindor and even Carlos Correa. But if the Astros where to move Springer it would have to be for an up and coming Player not a equal payroll player. I dont understand the logic of wanting to not be here if your Springer? He gets lots of hype from Houston. Lot of love. So if he does wanna go and we could trade him the only player im interested in on the Red Sox is Benintendi. Fat chance there. |

And to elaborate on the Padres
I would ship Carlos Correa and Framber Valdez to the Padres for a package if I could get it Mackenzie Gore, Luis Parino and Pedro Avila.
And yes I get it Fat Chance.
But never say never ot also depends on how bad they want or need that said player.
Cubs, Red Sox and Indians arent gonna sell there players low so why should we???

I don’t think he will be traded either, but I could see Beltran wanting his Puerto Rican on the Mets. MLBTR is reporting that some rival execs think the Cubs may move Willson Contreras this offseason. I also read that the Cubs could be looking for a SS. Maybe a deal with the Scrubs in which Contreras and Correa are the headliners could be worked out. |

Maybe a deal with the Scrubs in which Contreras and Correa are the headliners could be worked out. What goal do the Cubs have? Are they more forward-looking and they want prospects in return? (Javier Báez still has two more years under team control.) Or are they looking to move Báez from SS to a different position? If this is a 'right-now' move, the Astros probably wouldn't need to include much with Correa to get Contreras. Correa only has two more years of team control and Contreras has three. But I think a year of Correa might have a bit more value than a year of Contreras. |

But I think a year of Correa might have a bit more value than a year of Contreras. IIRC Baez played more 2B than SS until Russell got in trouble. I don’t recall where I found the article that I read, but I read somewhere that the Cubs wanted to “shake things up” a bit. One of the options mentioned was to acquire a SS and move Baez to 2B. Another option was to trade Contreras. If they really want to “shake things up,” they could always send Bryant to Houston for Correa 🙂. We could throw in Toro to play third base for them....and a minor league second baseman to play 2B for the half season that Baez will have to play SS while Correa is on his annual sabbatical. |
