I think JBJ is a good call i would look at Profar aswell sign em both.
Profar can play both COF spots and cover some INF.
I think Diaz could be traded if you use him in that capacity

I got a intreasting rumor
Reds have asked about Correa and have said some intriguing names.
I'm not sure on the names.
But the three that were 🔥
Nick Lodolo, Jonathan India and Nick Senzel
Just saying might not be a bad one to think about....

Another rumor Astros may look in to Joc Pederson.
Plays decent Def
.800 OPS
and can play all 3 OF spots
Still has upside.

The rumor that I had read on this was about a month ago and it was basically tied to getting Marisnick as well as Bradley. Seems as if Pederson can not hit left handers and Marisnick does do a good job of that so the platoon in right was the idea and leaving Tucker alone in left. Also heard one on trading trading Pena and Barber for Marte. This one was conditioned on extending Correa for 6 years and 120 million with a player option to opt out after 3 years and 60 million. |

For some reason Joc Pedersons name keeps comming up.
And Maybe a move of Correa even though rumors are he is not a option to be traded they wanna resign him.

In theory....a platoon of Joc and Marisnick makes sense. I just don't see it happening though. Although let's be honest, even playing to their extreme splits they aren't *great hitters*. Pederson has an .800 something OPS against righties with a .230-ish AVG, and Jake barely tops a .700 OPS against lefties. So you'd essentially be getting slightly above-average offense if you held true to their splits... Hardly worth it for bringing in two FAs. Too much limitation.
Brantley and Bradley, Jr. would round out the OF well enough, especially if Yordan can play a handful of games in LF and Straw can do a little better as a 4th OFer.

In my opinion the way we go about filling our outfield openings will tell us a lot about life after Luhnow. Also trading Correa and McCullers would tell us a lot about what is going on in Cranes head |

The financial hit that the league and teams took this year is going to greatly change what a lot of teams might have done both last offseason and this offseason. |

If you keep in mind that everything is relative then it still is a tell. Depending on what we are talking about maybe. Maybe not. If we trade Correa then in my mind it would mean that Crane is saying the same thing Jones said. If he gets creative and flexible with extending Correa it will say he just wants the best team possible.
Not matter what though I am ready for some action. I am tired of the only news about our teams being about the dumpster fire Texans

If Crane wants to maintain a great team, he needs to overpay someone. Springer is on the wrong side of thirty and that is more reliable case for Brantley. Bradley is a great fielder with inconsistent hitting so he’ll likely be overpaid too.
I have no idea why they’d be looking at Marisnick unless they think they can’t land Bradley.
