The Astros buying the Skeeters is a sure sign that the relationship between Crane and the Ryan family has gone completely to shit. My thoughts exactly.

I thought the same thing. Although it will be nice to have the AAA team so close.

Hunter Renfroe was DFA'ed by the Rays. He might be a guy worth looking at. He's the kind of hitter that some fans get annoyed by (Gattis, Carter, etc.) but a cost-effective guy that can hit 30+ HRs and play decent defense in the corner OF spots is something we could really use.

Renfroe's been nathan's boy since he was a prospect

If you put Mike Trout’s head on Evan Gattis’s body, it’d be Hunter Renfroe.

I was more or less looking at a McCullers, Garcia and a PTBNL for Nick Senzel.
Creates alittle room for our young guys and not stuck trying to Convince McCullers he would be better off as a BP guy

Ken Rosenthal says the Astros are apparently discussing with other teams the idea of trading Correa. Hate it.

I'm a little surprised Morton was able to get that much on a 1-year deal after he had a fairly down year.

Apparently we're talking to DJ LeM.... Interesting considering our IF is set for at least one more year unless we make some trades...

I would sign LeMahieu and tell Altuve to figure out where he wants to play.

Rosenthal has retracted his tweet and statement about Correa. Apparently teams are asking about him, but Astros are not pushing him.
On another note There is alot of trade chatter as we speak. Astros are for sure interested in DJ. But why is the Q?
Astros are looking for a OF, SP and Bullpen guys.
But again I circle back to Why DJ? He is an INF guy. I'm sure someone could move to the OF but again who?

But even with that, it doesn't mean it for sure. We need at least two OFers, period. Brantley isn't a done deal yet so it makes sense to look at all options.
