    At this point, that’s a decent trade.  

  • The double standard when it comes to the treatment of the Astros and the Red Sox by the media is infuriating. If we rehired Hinch, assholes like Jeff Passan, Jon Heyman and Buster Olney would be going

  • After last year i would pay Correa whatever the fuck he wants for 12 years i don't give a fuck. He is the heart of the team and I am down with him 4 life. I don't even care if he leaves next season

Brantley will most likely primarily DH for Toronto. They still have an extra outfielder they can move but will most likely be looking for pitching which we really can't provide. 

Im all for whoever can fuck up the Yankees lives so [emoji106]

Passan says Brantley has not signed with TOR.  May still do it, but nothing has happened yet

I'm shocked he has time to quit jerking to Jared Porters dick pic to tweet about stuff

Hat tip and standing O for an Astro all-time great.  Knew this day was coming and it still makes me sick to my stomach.  
This gif accurately summarizes his time in Houston:

Thanks for the best run in Astros history George. It all started with you. a83c0a451e8235470a96ea48fda7d87f.jpg

Thanks, George.  Will miss the annual opening day leadoff HR.  2017 WS MVP!

Whatever it was I guarantee it wasn't 6 years

Glad we scrapped the couch cushions for some more money 

I didn't know we were still allowed to do this.  Nice surprise.

I don't think Brantley was ever really in play, especially on a 3 year deal. He'd require too many DH at bats. It was ok last year with Alvarez hurt but those ABs aren't there this year. They need everyday outfielders. 

 

Idiot

As much as I would've loved to have Ozuna I think you have to go get JBJ at this point.

Two years for Pedro Leon to develop.

No he'll be sooner than that. He's 23 already, if he performs as expected they will fast track him.

I grieved last night and binged on multiple Springer Dinger YouTube moments. Today is a new day.

WHAT A GREAT FUCKING DAY.

That's cool, too.

Huge day for the Astros.

The first bit of good news for Houston sports fans. It has been a nonstop beating since the WS.

What is Leon league play equal to this past year to the Minors. A-AA-AAA?

The Cuban league is probably somewhere between AA and AAA. He will probably start at AA, and try to get acclimated to every pitcher throwing in the mid 90s. What he does do is likely put a cap on any deal for a CF. Maybe you get away with Tucker in CF for a season and a half. Maybe you sign Marisnick for insurance, and give a one year deal to Rosario to play RF. He changed the calculus of the OF for the Astros, and why they are probably only wanting 1-2 year deals.

JBJ on 1 year deal with a team option for a second is my preference

yeah, i'm leaning towards a defensive cf type.  if he hits, great.  if not, bat him 9th and hope for the best.  with uncle mike back, our 1-6 is solid.

Former Astros reliever Chris Devenski is in agreement with the Arizona Diamondbacks on a minor league contract, a person with knowledge of the deal said on Wednesday.

Devenski can earn $1 million if he makes the major league team. The deal is pending a physical.

bring back marisnick as the #4 

automatic locker room fit 

Edited by tx 3 putt

I want Jurickson Profar, Enrique Hernandez, or Jon Villar.  All can play in CF and could serve as insurance if Correa leaves and they aren’t able to secure one of the other good FA SS.
