Anyone interested in Yasiel Puig?
He wants out of LA. Modest contract and arbitration eligibility
Dodgers arent happy with him could be cheap add.

Anyone interested in Yasiel Puig? He wants out of LA. Modest contract and arbitration eligibility Dodgers arent happy with him could be cheap add. A one year rental that's inconsistent and always surrounded by drama? He'd have to be super cheap. He's got too much talent and potential to say flat-out NO to, but it would have to be cheap. |

Are you an OMB-type fan who doesn't care what sort of reprobate plays for the team as long as they produce? The Houston fanbase has changed since the "good guys" days. Puig is one I would veto, as is Bauer (because of his accusing the Astros of cheating) and Ryan Braun. |

Puig is one I would veto, as is Bauer (because of his accusing the Astros of cheating) and Ryan Braun. I'm more open to problem children than others if I think they can benefit the team. It all depends on what they've done, and the value they bring or the potential drama/strife in the clubhouse. I think anybody convicted of a violent crime should not be allowed to play. I'd really prefer to not have anybody with failed PED test(s), but if they've served their punishment per the rules I don't know that we should hold that against them forever. There are a number of players I don't like (Braun) because I think they're unethical or assholes, but it's always a case by case basis as far as if I'd want them on the team. I don't mind young hotheads like Harper within reason. I'm not saying I want a team full of asshats, but I think the "Good Guys" thing was a little over the top. These guys are athletes and performers, not pastors or community leaders. Having a couple like Harper or Puig is okay with me if they can back up their act and help us win. Honestly, I don't really like Bregman, but the kid can play and he's having fun (and his teammates seem to like him) so I deal with it. The day he stops backing up his shenanigans is the day I start complaining. |

Two things are important when considering this: 1. How much of Grienke's contract are the Dbacks willing to eat? 2. What does Strom think he could do with him. I have always thought he was selfish and had a bad attitude. i could be wrong. I don't recall anything like that with Greinke. I know he some anxiety issues when he was younger. If we got Grienke and he pitches like he has at times in the past, nobody would want to play a series against us and face him, Verlander, and Cole. |

And to be honest, you need to be REALLY good to override being an unlikable twatknuckle. |

If we got Grienke and he pitches like he has at times in the past, nobody would want to play a series against us and face him, Verlander, and Cole. He's still owed a lot of money, but the guy has been a top-5 pitcher in the NL the last two years and is having a HoF caliber career eerily similar to Verlander if he stays healthy. He'd give us a proven pitcher for 3 years. Comparison between Verlander & Greinke: Verlander (14 Years) 35 years old:204-123 3.39 ERA (126 ERA+) 2706 Strikeouts 1.162 WHIP 3.42 FIP 63.4 WAR 7x All-Star 1x CY 1x MVP Greinke (15 Years) 34 years old: 187-118 3.39 ERA (124 ERA+) 2435 Strikeouts 1.173 WHIP 3.39 FIP 65.7 WAR 5x All-Star 5x GG 1x CY |

You put up with more attitude if the performance is there. It's just how it is whether we like it or not. |

ESPN’s recent article about trades they’d like to see happen at the Winter Meetings had one interesting idea: Schwarber to HOU for a pitcher like Cionel Perez or Valdez.
They cited our need for a LH bat and DH. While I love Swarb (shoutout Hoosiers), he’s been pretty much been unplayable vs. RHP the last few years and is a liability in the field, even with him seriously trimming down last offseason. Maybe his regression comes up a little bit. A truly lethal hitter when he’s on. Maybe for another arm, but interesting suggestion nonetheless
9 minutes ago
This is the outside the box thinking I was talking about

Schwarber for one pitching prospect that isn't Whitley, James, or JB? Absolutely.
Even being a bit one dimensional, the guy would be a very good DH and backup corner OFer when necessary. He also has some experience catching. The main thing would be could he maintain his 2018 OBP against lefties or would he be entirely useless against them? Worst case scenario you're getting a guy just as good as Gattis (but with more potential) and he's controllable and cheap for 3 years.
Additional bonus, the guy has been very good in the postseason with an OPS over 1.000.

That’s what the Americans said before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Look at Sherwin with the big brain. Is that a Pulp Fiction reference? |

Puig is one I would veto, as is Bauer (because of his accusing the Astros of cheating) and Ryan Braun. Yeah, but Bauer will be forced to STFU if he played here so it’d be a non-issue. |

Marlins trying real hard to maximize there return for J.T. Realmuto.

New
Astros have not been as aggressive as most figured. Including me. ATL/PHI/NYM seem to be the ones to watch for now.
Sources: Still “in" on J.T.Realmuto: NYM, PHI, SD, ATL, TB….not as aggressive but “in” are LA, COL, Milw, Hous, CWS
I would guess the Not as Aggrssive goup has offers on the table and have said I wont go over that amount.
The Aggressive ones above I would bet arent close to those of below and two of which have to really really step up because there in the same division.
