That's a good point, OlPapa. A report from the Chronicle is not the same thing as an official decision, which should be reflected within 24 hours on the official Astros website (specifically the "Transactions" page, which the site manager usually does a good job keeping current). If the Padres, Brewers, Tigers, and a few other teams haven't been asking about White in trade, they haven't been doing their homework. I hate to say it, but White and Kemp are good matches for the Rangers. However I dread to think what those two players would do to the Astros in divisional play over the next 4 years if such a deal ever went down. Even if the Astros got Beltre and Leclerc and whoever else in return. |

It would appear that the team was mentally already on the plane to DC by the fourth inning of yesterday's game:

Well I just checked the Astros roster again and White has now been removed. He was still on there about an hour ago. Transaction page indicating he has been sent to Fresno.
Astros active roster now at 24.

I'm not too high on Abreu being an impact bat down the stretch either. He's having the worst season of his career at the plate I agree about Abreu. I prefer the second option with Merrifield, rather than Abreu. I just checked and Tyker White is still listed on the Astros 25-man roster. I was reading the trade rumors on mlb.com and it was noted that the league office frowns on teams announcing trades during the All-Star break before the game is played. I’m still wondering if Luhnow has a trade in place that he is waiting to announce until after the All-Star game. It wouldn’t necessarily have to involve White being traded, but could require White to be sent to AAA in order to open up a spot on the 25-man roster. Doesn’t seem to me like sending down White and calling up another guy to replace him would be the kind of announcement the league would frown on. I am sure lots of trade discussions take place around the AS game,but, I doubt if Luhnow would announce anything during the break........I've been keeping up with Abreu and I'm not sold on him now, either. I like getting Merrifield. |

For the record, even on the old board, I hated Marwin as a starter. He's hispanic Bruntlett that had one good good fluke season. Hildago was another flukey example. Hidalgo actually had multiple good seasons. He just had a short career. |

I would think that since he has been out as long as he has, they would send him to Corpus for a rehab assignment before they activate him. |

I’m sure he will do his rehab assignment with Corpus Christi. He hasn’t been assigned there yet. |

I would think that since he has been out as long as he has, they would send him to Corpus for a rehab assignment before they activate him. If he is ready for a rehab assignment, I would think they would go ahead and send him to Corpus and let him be playing the next few days so that he could maybe rejoin the team on a Friday after the ASB. He isn’t with Corpus tonight, but they don’t have another off day until August 6. All their games between now and then are in Corpus, Midland, San Antonio or Frisco so he won’t have to skip a day or ride the bus too far once they send him to rehab. Actually, all of Corpus Christi’s remaining games are in Texas except for a road trip to Tulsa and Springfield from August 14-19. |

Correa to continue rehab Astros shortstop Carlos Correa will remain in Houston during the All-Star break and continue his rehab from a sore back. Correa, who started at shortstop for the AL in the All-Star Game a year ago, has been on the disabled list since June 26 with lower back soreness. Hinch said Sunday there are no plans yet to get him out on a Minor League rehab assignment. "We still don't have a plan for him," Hinch said. "He's not doing anything aggressively on the field that would warrant a plan in place to send him out. We're going to send him out as soon as we can. It's a slow process right now." www.mlb.com/astros/news/aj-hinch-named-post-all-star-break-rotation/c-285932648Also since you brought it up earlier, Hinch is not going to reveal in the press what the "real" problem is. He's going to leave that up to the player, like he did a while back when Reddick had an infection |

The assignment is still in the future. It hadn't even been decided when or where yet. |

Obviously the opening on the 25-man roster created by sending White to Fresno is not for activating Correa.

In any case, Correa deserves his privacy as long as he is correcting the problem. |

Yes .. and the other half of what I was trying to explain to you a few hours ago, is Hinch said there's no time table on thatCorrea to continue rehab Astros shortstop Carlos Correa will remain in Houston during the All-Star break and continue his rehab from a sore back.

When did it become a thing to think every DL stint is some state secret that the team is trying to hide?

So, what I gather from all this chatter is that Correa has HPV and will require extensive rehabilitation in San Juan.

Hildago was another flukey example. Hidalgo actually had multiple good seasons. He just had a short career. Still he really had only 1 season that could be considered star quality. After that season expectations were very high. Again I consider him a fluke for what we thought we had. |

What I disliked about Hidalgo was we gave him a rich extension into his FA years cause we thought he was going to be Jose Cruz. At least with Marwin his salary
has been controllable despite his performance

Do you not understand that? I am very familiar with back problems. My brother in law has had 4 back surgeries and my nephew has back problems as well. I am just saying we have no way of knowing if Correa has anything wrong with his back and that this is what was used to cover up the real problem. He could very well have had back stiffness and he could have also had something else. We don't know for sure and never will know. Some things are personal, but, if he is exposing himself to something that prevents him from doing his job,that is a real problem and is some of the club's business. |
