I think two outfielders, a lefty and a right handed hitter. Both have to be inexpensive, you know like Marisnick. Hush your mouth. www.aa.orgThat's for quitters! |

Copied over from ESPN www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30256874/predicting-offseason-moves-all-30-mlb-teamsWhat they could do: Figure out a way to go for it, without Justin Verlander, George Springer and Michael Brantley. What we think they will do: Sign Marcell Ozuna and Kirby Yates. The Astros came within one game of reaching the World Series, after scuffling through a 29-31 regular season, primarily because the offense collapsed -- and now they will likely lose Springer and Brantley, their two best hitters in 2020. They could look to trade Carlos Correa, a free agent after 2021, but in a weak division they should be going for it. So how about Ozuna to help replace Springer/Brantley (and don't forget they'll get Yordan Alvarez back). Yates is coming off an injury, but was arguably the best closer in the majors in 2018-19. |

Yates and hand try for JBJ and Profar and see what happens on the Year. OZUNA will get a massive contract if this DH thing goes threw. Profar in LF JBJ CF and Tucker in RF YATES AND HAND WITH PRESLEY in the pen. Take a chance on a couple SP and roll with the season. Its a win win. Saves some serious Cash and you can set back and hope for the best on your return. Maybe resign Grienke and Verlander? Maybe not Verlander considering his wife wants to be in LA. So things could get intreasting there. But you could take acouple of them off SP from last year Minor Kluber or Archer. You still save some cash you could easily move Lance McCullers lol to the Pen and Just make him a spot SP or Long Reliever. If he gets pissed trade him. GRIENKE VALDEZ URQUIDY Mix ur two older vets in to help these youngsters Javier Armentaros Etc Etc Etc. That would be a youngsters Dreams to have the many Vets with that much Success to teach them. Would maybe do wonders for a Forrest Whitley?  ?? |

I am not for signing Correa to a contract; however, I would do it now, if he will sign a Covid Revenue market value deal- 4 years/$60M...But if he's smart, he wouldn't do that, and wait out the year and see if this Covid, change everyone's lifestyle, BS goes away.... And see if some team will pay him $25 to $30 million a year, for six years.... By no means, would I want that team to be the Astros. |

Idk I would resign him. Again HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE.JS But I'm locking up that bullpen asap. Hand Yates and Pressley would be awesome. But Imagine of we could get Minor and Archer? Intreasting for the strong young class of Pitchers the Astros have |

I like Ozuna’s power, but that’s about it. We still lose a good deal of offense without Springer. |

If you want to see what we are going to do a safe bet would be to look at how the Rays were built.
A strong bullpen and lots of power and smart trades. Not trades just to say you did something.

Our owner does not mind handing out cash. Big difference, Imo. You are correct. I agree that somewhat expensive free agents will also be a part. I would love to see us sign Morton back for a reasonable deal. Also would like to see us try to get Archer to sign a prove it kind of deal and have Strom fix him. I am not sure though whether we will go after an expensive closer. We may already have our closer in the minors. If alpapa would show back up he would tell you who that might be. If not in 21 then he will surely be it in 22. |

I’d like JBJ and Springer back, which makes up for awkward Tucker and punchless Reddick. The pitching they can worry about in ‘21.

We have to get another pen arm. Aim moderately low then. Minor or Rosenthal should be fine. Hendriks would be crazy expensive. Strom doesn’t have a good track record with improving closers anyway. |

A 1-year deal for $8 mil seems pretty good though. I'd easily pay that much for his career average over a full season.

He seems to have lost his focus for the last couple of years. I would rather spend the money on guys like Morton or Archer. Given that Archer has lost his focus as well I just think that he is more easily fixed.

Springer getting very very strong interest from the Blue Jays.
They may be willing to offer a very much higher then normal contract to him.
