I keep hearing lots of names mentioned in connection to different teams, but, I am not hearing Keuchel or Marwin mentioned at all. Interesting! Yeah nothing much on Harper, Corbin, and Machado yet either. Another slow-starting offseason. From what I have heard, Harper only wants to play on either the East or West coast which is great because I don't want the asshole in an Astros unform. |

Re:Keuchel A lot of his prospective suitors have already made trades/signings to fill his supposed role. The longer he remains unsigned, the more I fear we get him back. |

Leave him to the curb. Never liked Keuchal.

Astros may go after Tyler Bauer?
Rumor is they could try and nab him out of all the available SP out there

Boras may be trying to over-sell his client and passing up good deals in the hunt for a ridiculous one. (Didn't that happen with one of his people last offseason too? Greg Holland?)
If they're passing up 4+ year deals for $60+ million they're making a mistake. Players that held out too long last offseason suffered the consequences.

Moustakas passing up his QO last year and then being signed for almost a 3rd of the QO had to have been embarrassing. Another poor Boras decision.

Sorry I get what they say about hit hit rate and contact . But he will price his way out. As for Tyler.... I prefer keeping Cole. NOAH is my choice |

If you absolutely have to try and get someone. Get Madbum and immediately try and lock him up for 15 a year for 3yrs.
I dont want him but he would be a third choice.
Snydergaard
Corrasco
Madbum
I'm looking at cost effective players for the long hall.

If they're passing up 4+ year deals for $60+ million they're making a mistake. Players that held out too long last offseason suffered the consequences. I think some of the teams have been burned so badly by multi-year contracts that they are shying away from giving them. Look at the contract the Angels gave Pujols. The Dbacks are trying to dump Grienke.. If Boras is holding out for a four year deal for Keuchel, he is probably going to be disappointed. Last offseason should have told some of these agents that things are changing. I doubt if the Braves would have given Donaldson more than one year for $23million. I would not give Keuchel over two years......tops. I am anxious to see what he and Marwin are offered. I'd still like us to keep Marwin. |

There's just no point in keeping Marwin after trading for Diaz. Use the money else where. |

A few players last year passed on the QO and then passed on decent offers...and ended up taking 1 year contracts for less than the QO and less than the decent offers. |

Did anyone see what the Mets asked the Astros for a Noah Syndergaard
They said Carlos Correra and George Springer where buy low pieces.
And Alex Bregman one for one would do it.
Then went on to say Kyle Tucker didnt do to good on the first time threw the Majors but he would be better then all three previously mentioned.
That is from Bleacher Report who said this

That is from Bleacher Report who said this The problem with these scenarios is, the teams say they want ML proven pieces, so you guys pick the 5 worst ML performers who have sniffed an at bat in Houston and think the other team wants them for their star. No one wants JD Davis, Fisher, etc. as anything other than a throw in with a real player with value. "OMGZ, they want MLB players! Let's send them Fisher, Davis, Kemp, and Chris Burke's old jockstrap for Mike Trout!" |

He has only missed significant time one season he has been among the best when healthy. |

If they trade for a pitcher, it needs to be someone with multiple years of control.

That's what I'm saying.
On another note the proposed trade from the Padres is as follows
LHP Joey Lucchesi
C. Austin Hedges
RHP Chris Paddack. 35th ranked in MLB
For
RHP Noah Syndergaard
And
C. Travis D'Arnaud
