Nothing really changed. They’ve been saying both were a few weeks away.

I had suspected COVID 19 was involved, especially with Yordan. Hopefully, he will be back soon.  Still no idea about Urquidy's situation.

I think we need Urquidy more than we need Yordan, and I love Yordan!

I thought Yordan would be closer.

if Sneed becomes our closer, there is no doubt about it.

[nathangarza29]

For Alex Cobb and Ryan Mountcastle

I have been looking forward to your trade ideas. Yes!

[nathangarza29]

And yes if the Astros continue this pace I'm selling off all.
Reddick, Yuli, Brantley and even Springer would be on the table.
I would look for atleast a couple Young top flight SP and a replacement OF and 1B

[nathangarza29]

Josh James got ta go

[blcoach8]

 I agree and send Sneed with him.  I was with you until you started wanting to get rid of Springer again.  Unless we plan to sign Brantley at a reasonable price, I'm OK with trading him.

What team is going to give you "Young top flight SP and a replacement OF and 1B" for players who will be free agents in less than 2 months?

Shhhhhh..... this is just the beginning.....if the Astros keep sucking, this might be the only entertainment we have.....

[nathangarza29]

There's alot of teams who will wanna take advantage of the short season. Alot of teams have givin up alot for a one year rental or shall I say half a year.
Yulis value is at its peak.
Brantleys aswell.
Reddick would be a salary dump.
I would only trade springer if the price is fair.

That being said.
Reddick, James and Toro
For Alex Cobb and Ryan Mountcastle
Future OF or 1B in Mountcastle.
Making Yuli as good as gone.

I am still waiting for him to get us JT Realmuto and Christian Yelich.

You have been stupid enough to want Yuli gone ever since we got him.  All he did last year was have a career year with 31 homrs, over 100 RBI, and a .300 average.

I do like Toro.

I liked him and Straw more last year than I do now. 

[nathangarza29]

To me Yuli isn't worth the money after this year. At his age Nah.

Springer to me isn't very good at the plate anymore.
If Springer doesn't resign then Bradley is as good as gone.
I feel we will be outbid for Springer.

So to add to my first trade
Reddick, Toro and James
For Alex Cobb and Ryan Mountcastle

I would do
Bradley and McCormick
To the Indians for
Daniel Espino, Tristan McKenzie and Scott Moss

And
Yuli Gurriel and Bryan Abreu to the Rockies for
Ryan Vilade,Tommy Doyle and Jacob Wallace.


This would leave us alittle short in the OF temporarily. But Springer would move to LF. Straw in CF with Tucker in RF.
Mountcastle at 1B.

Ride the wave of Springer till the Deadline. Then see where he is at and go for gold with a top end OF or SP that a Team is ready to make the Play offs and capitalize on there wanting to win.
Then Maybe you can pull and Patino from the Padres or a Kopach from the White Sox.

Not likely but maybe.

He is right about Yuli, though. He’s a little too long in the tooth for a re-signing. I’d let go of him and Reddick. It’s the right thing to do. Springer and Brantley are tougher. If George wants to be a $30+ million player, I’m not sure about that.

These posts make me want to kick abregmanfan square in the ass.

If Altuve is worth $29 million, George is damn sure worth $30 million or as much as Altuve.  Bregman is working for $13 million now but $30+ kicks in during 2023.
