Same report says Astros may try and Go for Rendon or Donaldson to play 3rd base and move Bregman to SS permanently. Can you provide a link to that report? |

Astros to make a proposal to Gerrit Cole. They are the Mystery Team. Amd could be a very real taker on Cole. Cole also wouldnt mind it in Houston per source. Astros would have to clear alittle cash by moving a Reddick and or others. But some executives believe they are willing to go into the Luxury tax threshold There is a "rumor" that the Stros are "rumored" to be the "suprise team" that is making Cole an offer. It's on Mlbtr.com. It is no more than a rumor of a rumor. I read a rumor that a team in Japan offered him 20 years at 50 million per season. That certainly would make Mr. Cole the Man of Mystery...... At that, I hope he is paid. in........  |

$324 Million, wow, is more than 1/2 of the amount ($610M) that Crane paid for the Astros.

Does Cole send Strom at least a $50 gift card to Bass Pro Shop? |

And Verlander will be gone after 2020. Well they won the WS in 2017.

Read somewhere that when the smoke cleared the contract was at $40M AAV. So technically I guess I was right on the $40M number historic milestone. |

Anyone else hearing we may send Correa and Reddick to the Reds for Luis Castillo?

If this Luis Castillo deal for Correa and Reddick (and whatever other pieces) were to go through, I'd be all for it.
Get Castillo. Sign Villar and/or Chirinos/Castro. Get a reliever or three, and maybe a cheap innings eating starter/project. Hope that the Yankees can't stay healthy and that we can manage to stay ahead of Oakland another year.
Springer CF
Altuve 2B
Bregman SS
Yordan DH
Gurriel 1B
Brantley LF
Tucker RF
Villar SS
Catcher
Stubbs
Straw
Toro
Verlander
Greinke
Castillo
Peacock
Urquidy
Osuna
Pressley
McCullers
Perez

I like your Villar return scenario after Correa's departure
If Whiltey would wake up from his immature fog, his add as a starter, and Urquidy to the pen would leave just a few holes.
And don't forget, once you get to the post season, total W's doesn't mean squat. (On recent history especially).
Also anyone else thinking that a fixed, healed strong McCullers might start?

Whitley is such a question mark. If he could even just be an adequate #3-4 that would be a huge boost to us for the next couple years. I just don't see how they can possibly expect LMJ to be a consistent healthy starter. If they want to maximize his value, he needs to be a reliever. He can throw 20 curveballs every other game or so and probably be pretty damn dominant. |

Cincinnati needs a SS. Miami is supposedly looking for a LH hitting OFer, but is not interested in giving up a top prospect to get one. Astros need arms. Astros need to unload Reddick. I would like to see us move Gimpy Correa in a deal to the Reds that would get us Amir Garrett. Then trade Reddick to the Marlins for a sack of marbles, with the Marlins picking up the entire $13 million tab on Reddick for 2020. Then sign Rendon to play 3B and move Bregman to SS. There is your assignment Luhnow. Make it so.

They both have pitching and catching depth |

I just can't see them spending that type of money on a position player this year (maybe next year if they can't extend Springer). And I doubt they're interested in bringing in another high priced veteran pitcher, even if he isn't Cole level expensive. If they add a starting pitcher, it will be a younger guy through trade, or a low risk veteran like Miley. They need to be planning their pitching decisions based around what happens past the next two years. We'll still have a good core of young position players to build around, but, if Whitley and another prospect or two doesn't start to pan out, our rotation gets really weak really quickly. What nobody wants to hear, is that we're likely due for another bit of a rebuild in a couple years. Not a burn the house down type rebuild, but maybe a couple years of mediocrity. Especially if we get hit this year with losing some draft picks and/or fined. |

I think Luhnow is more interested in shedding payroll than taking on payroll He probably is. That said, it’s hard to see how the team can shed payroll this offseason, not take on any payroll and compete for a championship in 2020. Lots of payroll coming off the books at the end of 2020 though. If Crane was, as it was reported, willing to pay the luxury tax in 2020 in order to re-sign Cole, I would think he would do the same to sign Rendon. Just my opinion though. |
