Actually no it would be a nice conversation but doubtful.
I would actually look into a deal for Correa reddick and Yuli going out.
But thats me.
I would try like hell to flip Yuli and Correa to the BlueJays and steal away Bo Bichette and some Minot league SP.
But thats me.
Yordan would get first try at 1B.
But the Astros need badly some better Pen Arms.
This is all I would do besides Tucker getting all of RF. And Reddick saying bye.
Sure we need a SP but with URQUIDY and McCullers and Possibly Forrest Whitley and some others in thebpipeline who might push up. We might be ok.
But with out a shadow of a doubt Gerrit Cole would be assigned the QO.
So we could get some compensation and slow him down from running for the Cash

Time to do some retooling. If Tucker and Straw are not ready for the big show now, they never will be. The same can be said about Stubbs. There is no need to waste another year of any of those guy’s pro career by having them at AAA. Luhnow needs to find a way to move Reddick this offseason. The team will have to eat some of the $13 million owed to him in 2020 and/or send some prospects along with him in order to move him. Whatever it takes, he needs to go now to make room for Tucker. Marisnick needs to go to make room for Straw. Stubbs should be given a shot at one of the catcher slots on the roster. Abraham Toro looks to be ready. He has hit well with runners in scoring position in the minor leagues. Even if he struggles a bit at first, I am confident that he can produce enough with the bat to replace the half season we would get from Correa. Carlos has two seasons left before he becomes a free agent in 2022. Luhnow should be able to get a decent return for him in a trade. Trade him, move Bregman to SS and install Toro at 3B. Bryan Abreu should make the 2020 OD roster. Whitley? Who knows? Cristian Javier, Tyler Ivey and Brandon Bielak should start the season at AAA and make their ML debut at some point during the season. I would like to see Luhnow sign Pomeranz for a LH pitcher in the bullpen. Wouldn’t mind seeing Luhnow re-sign Joe Smith and Harris. Would like to see Luhnow sign Wheeler to replace Cole. Would like to see the team put less emphasis on launch angles and more emphasis on hitting the ball where they ain’t. I like and agree with everything you said above. I do as well except for the part about Javier. I think he starts the year in the ML. |

It is bullshit to even think about dealing him. I want Correa gone and I don't mind Reddick being traded....Yuli needs to stay. |

Justice mentioned it but said the Mets would have to trade for him and Hinch is happy where he is, plus he is under contract for 3 more years........Justice also mentioned signing Rendon. |

I see the logic in trying to deal Correa, but I don't see it happening. He's under control for 2 more years, projected at 7.4 mil next year and who knows what in 2021. For that kind of $/production, I don't see Luhnow parting with him. If he were to trade him though, this would be the best time.

Over the last 3 seasons Correa has played in just 294 of the team’s 486 regular season games. He played in just 75 of 162 regular season games this season. He has missed 40% of the team’s games over the last 3 seasons and missed over 50% this season so things aren’t getting better. They are getting worse. I too doubt that Luhnow will trade him this offseason. Crane will probably get to pay KK for a full season again next year and be lucky to get a half season of play out of him again.

He has to learn fast but he is the guy u want at 1b for the money Yuli will NOT be traded.........take it to the bank. If you want to win, you spend money on productive players. Compared to what other players with similar or worse numbers make, Yuli is dirt cheap. |

Signing Rendon to put at 3B and move Bregman to SS after trading Correa would be pretty sweet. That means you're guaranteeing in not extending Springer though.

I hope folks aren't too disappointed if Reddick's on the roster next season It's gonna be hard to deal someone making 8 figures whose bat was below replacement-level the past 2 years
Only way I see it happening is if the trade partner is also looking to unload payroll, which doesn't help us
The only way I see that scenario helping us is if the trade partner has a need for an outfielder and has a player whose contract they need to unload and who plays a position where we have a need...like catcher. |

We could extend him and have money in the new contract kick in at a later time. |

So who do you think the Astros will non-tender? I think they non-tender Sanchez and Biagini. I don’t think the team will exercise its $2.825 million option on Devenski. He may be non-tendered as well.
