Rosenthal says McCullers or Morton Rosenthall doesn't know his ass from his elbow. I notice that you post all of this BS and then say "according to sources" and "unnamed sources". My guess is these "sources" are things you dream up to try to sound like you are in the know. Please CITE these "sources" so we can verify them. I guarantee you that Luhnow has no intention of trading for a starting pitcher and putting Morton or McCullers in the pen. It could happen in the playoffs as it did last season. How many of these imaginary deals you have posted about have actually happened? I don't remember any. |

ok. I will play the game with you. Who do we give up for archar? According to sources it would have to be a power OF. And young catcher to start. Alveraz and Stubbs Anybody who posts as many wild, made up potential trades as you do needs therapy. You need to seek help at once. I think you actually believe this stuff.  |

Here is some of your "I pulled ot outta my ass stuff"
7:43pm: In an interview with Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Archer called the trade chatter surrounding him “unsettling.” Topkin again notes that the industry sense is that Tampa Bay is more willing than ever to trade Archer, and he adds that a young catcher and a power-hitting outfield prospect would be “a good start” to a package from the Rays’ vantage point.

A trade isn’t certain, maybe 50-50. But the circumstances seem more favorable than ever before, as does the vibe, for #Rays to move the 2-time All-Star. Archer’s mindset? “Curious” #Yankees #Braves #Astros#Padres #Cardinals #Phillies #Cubs#mysteryteamhttps://t.co/O8Gqo13Rnz

I'm not worried when we don't hear much talk about the Astros being connected to Iglesias, Castellanos, or some other worthy trade target.
The media silence doesn't mean Luhnow isn't working on those trades. We didn't hear anything in the media about Maldonado and there was only a peep or two about Pressly, and those deals got done anyway.
I think Luhnow likes to avoid media attention when he can.

I have to believe he is working to acquire guys like the two you named. He never lets it be known what he is up to and that is how it should be. I just wish he would stop waiting until the last minute to do something. |

I threw the idea out there a few weeks ago that 'Wouldn't it be very much like Luhnow to shock us and trade for a SP?" It still looks like it could happen.
I made it clear that I don't support the idea. But Jeff has a way of making counterintuitive trades.
Not a fan of Archer myself. He's got a career-high WHIP this year. Strikeouts are down. I wasn't impressed with him in 2016-17 and see no reason to change my opinion now.
If Luhnow would get one of:
Stammen, Yates, Iglesias, Herrera
and one of:
Castellanos, Choo, Matt Adams, Jorge Soler
I'd be happy with the Astros' chances for a repeat.
To be able to bunch Altuve, Bregman, Correa, and one of the four guys listed above into the lineup together would be very powerful. Add to that, White will probably have replaced Gattis as DH, Kemp still being a spark plug, and Stassi in games vs LHP... that's a lineup that goes up well against NYY and BOS.

I would prefer Iglesius but would take Herrera. I admit to not being up to date on Stammen and Yates. Castellanos would be my choice of the four hitters.....Choo is owed too much money and would probably be just a DH. |

Choo's high salary could help the Astros in two ways:
a) The Rangers would be glad to just dump the salary, and wouldn't expect any premium prospects. The Astros can send over Nick Tanielu or some token prospect for Choo, but it won't hurt.
b) Choo will likely still be available at the end of August. So if July 31 comes and goes with no major bats coming to the Astros, Luhnow can always go the Verlander route and trade at the waiver deadline. With his price tag, I doubt anyone else jumps in when Choo goes on waivers.
Of course a Choo trade would mean Crane has to open the wallet and take a hit. Not sure if he is prepared to pay what Choo would cost.
In any case, I would view Choo as a backup trade target in case the other deals get nixed.
I just read that Soler is out with a foot fracture. Probably too risky to for him in that case. A healthy Soler would be tempting to target as a replacement for Reddick.

As long as he can be stashed in the minors, I wouldn't mind seeing Luhnow claim Warwick Saupold, newly DFA'd by the Tigers.
Saupold was one of the most dominating relievers in the first half of 2017, but has fallen apart since with a 5-ish ERA over the past year.
Maybe the Houston coaching staff can get him back to where he was. He's 28 and one of the few Australian players in MLB.

A Canadian sports site is speculating that Roberto Osuna might be getting shopped around by the Jays. No clear signs that the Astros are interested. I"d imagine many people would have a problem with the team acquiring someone suspended for domestic abuse, even though Osuna is of course a very good pitcher. Osuna would be eligible for the postseason. www.tsn.ca/mlb-rumours-blue-jays-shopping-osuna-1.1150332 |

Conley would be my vote....just wonder what the Marlins might being asking for....do we have any former Yankee players or some in the FO that can call Jeter and say he good ole buddy - how about giving us Conley for lets say: Reed, Paulino and some outside of the top 30 prospect guy....Maybe Clemens can do us a solid and call him. |

I'm not a big fan of Norris, but obviously he does have ties to the Astros organization and maybe the FO feels that there is a basis for having a reunion. Did he leave the team on good terms? I don't remember.
Yates and Stammen would have to be my favorites from that list, but I still hold out hope on Iglesias. Luhnow may well be looking at guys not on the list.

It sounds like Osuna will have at least one court hearing in August, so even if he is eligible to play, a judge might restrict his ability to travel. He will be controllable through 2021 if I understand it correctly, but given all the headaches involved with this player, I'm hoping he ends up playing for one of the other 29 teams. |
