I think Bell is a very likely candidate. He would add the most to this team imho.

The problem is with Bell, you’ll be trading for a pending free agent. Do you think Click will compete with 29 other teams? Brantley and Yuli were both do for some regression...I do believe Yuli will rebound and start producing consistently... Regardless, Click should be upgrading the overall offense ... Obvious target is Catcher....After that a solid bat that can be a spot starter and top PH is needed....Then it is a veteran reliever great against LH batters ... This is exactly right. |

I think adding Bell and that Catcher from Chicago would both be good adds. We have the pitching covered imo.

I’d stick with Brantley over Gurriel because he has a little more left in the tank, is more of a professional hitter, and would benefit more from the hokey ‘ban the shift’ rule next season. If they can upgrade at catcher without destroying the farm, I’d be down with that, but I don’t feel Willson Contreras is that guy. As far as a great lefty reliever, they’ve needed that for years but don’t seem to care much, which is why you see Taylor out there all the time. |

The Astros FO is doing everything they can to keep this window open. CC made a mistake.
Get Tucker and some of the young pitchers extended!

I don't think Contreras is going to cost that much.... Outside of Soto, there's not been a rumor of a marquee player that could be traded.... Who’d you rather have? Of course Soto, but Nats would justifiably ask for the farm.... Contreras is a pending FA, and it takes sometime for catchers and pitchers to work together well....so knowing that I don't think the Cubs will be asking for more than Astros would be willing to give away. |

Sheeeit I’d put Soto at C if it meant an upgrade. |

I would ask about both K. Ruiz C and Josh Bell. Korey Lee would be on the table as well as Jose Urquidy. I'm sure we will have to make room for Mcullers and Jake soon.
While trying to finagle a deal there would see if Keuchal would like to come out of the BP as a LH specialist?
Then I'm just looking around seeing if I could find a RP some where maybe another OF to eventually take over for Brantley
Andrew Benintendi would be a great add for LF. We have some pieces that I think the Royals would entertain. Forrest Whitley would be my starting point. Hoping he intrigues em alittle.

But along as it doesn't cost us Hunter Brown ot Whitiker I'm all for it. We don't have to tear it all away. But if we can add and get the ball rolling on extensions then go for it. We could still trade Jake Odorizzi |

It's an odd year when Dusty's managing the bullpen effectively and Yuli's chasing pitches outside the zone

Keuchel was getting murdered in the 1st inning by opposing teams....I would think he would be a terrible option to be a reliever. |
