Oh boy... maybe Kelvin Herrera really will be wearing an Astros jersey this week.

Often the Astros exciting announcements are a let down.

I think I read somewhere the Round Rock Express are ending their affiliation with the Rangers after 2018. This press conference might be an announcement that Round Rock will be our Triple-A club again beginning in 2019. That's just a guess though

Nothing on mlbtraderummors so I doubt it's a deal.

Evan Gattis has been named AL Player of the Week. Was that the announcement?

I'm sure it'll be disappointing.

"Luhnow, who has been named President of Baseball Operations and General Manager, received a contract extension that carries through the 2023 season. Terms of the deal were not disclosed."

"Luhnow, who has been named President of Baseball Operations and General Manager, received a contract extension that carries through the 2023 season. Terms of the deal were not disclosed." While it's not a player acquisition, it is the man who has done well doing that. |

This bodes well for the future of the organization. I'm glad the Astros have Crane/Luhnow rather than the guys running the Giants, Padres, Mets, and Orioles.

Wasn't Reid Ryan the Prez of Baseball Operations? I thought he was President of the Astros. That would be over Operations and promotions/marketing.
I just looked it up. He's President over BUSINESS Operations. Now Luhnow is GM and President of BASEBALL Operations.

While not a player move, it’s good news. I just wish they’d save the words “major announcement” for player acquisitions. That’s kind of misleading.

I am also very glad we have CraneLuhnow instead of McLanePurpura...........Replacing Hunsicker with Luhonw was one of the dumbest moves in Astros history. |

If he's not banking $7+ mil a year with this new deal, he accepted too little.

Todd Phillips would agree with you. The Hangover and Due Date both have a Rain Man motif to them

Got to admit heat, the "Wonder Years" of Eddie can easily be forgotten. Yeah, and the travesty of Tim "Golden Corral" Purpura. I wish I could resurrect that post of the faux news item I posted at the MLB site. Maybe it is still floating out there somewhere. |
