Probably something with fucking Bauer Outage.  They have been hanging out 

 

I'm sure the Marlins are calling around saying that the Astros are offering Tucker, and the other teams are laughing in their face and saying no fucking way.

"Soon" means two weeks.
Womp womp.

I love the Brantley deal.  When potential moves were being discussed at the beginning of the offseason this was one of the few that I was excited about.  I think he’ll be a great fit for us.

probably just Bregs announcing which Hooters girl he will be taking out for New Years Eve

Nice addition.  Don't see how this blocks Tucker, it is a two year deal for a fragile player who might end up at DH or 1B a lot.  And, as mentioned, if Reddick sucks again, there will be plenty of OF ABs. 

This. Brantley and Yuli will do most of the DH work. Don't trade Tucker. This could haunt us forever. 

Trust in Luhnow. We just signed the best bat on the market, not the most talented.

What we already knew, but now official:

Wearing #23.  I sure hope the curse of that # doesn't continue.  Gotta go back to Eric Anthony (and I guess Doug Jones for a year) days for someone worth a shit to wear it.  

Nelson Cruz is gonna have to pick a different number.  And so is AJ Re....oh neverfucking mind

It's not meant for you.

Rumor mill is Realmuto trade to Stros heating up. Stros apparently have best offer out there, but plenty of teams in play and Marlins arent in a huge hurry

Interesting. The last I read today,  there’s only three teams and they want to have it done by Christmas. So the exact opposite.

I wouldn't classify by Christmas a huge hurry. I mean like tonight.

I saw like 4 teams in play, but Stros best at the moment

Gotcha.

Personally, Id consider an arbitrary deadline in less than a week when the season is more than 3 months away a hurry, but I can see how that’s relative.

I also find it telling that most of what I’ve read about the Astros being so hot on him is coming from a Marlins reporter. Seems like between that and the deadline they’ve imposed they’re trying to create a false sense of urgency.

That's not the bomb that had a star the seat, is it? I don't think so

What’s shit is he doing?

Not beating women or shooting up drugs so its a win for me 

What’s shit is he doing?

Stupid millennial shit. Really stepped up the social media game in the offseason and seems much more focused on a lot more off the field stuff than last offseason...but again, maybe that’s just perception because he/his PR person is posting so much more.
It’s fine and good for him for trying and market himself. But like above poster said, just not my cup of tea.

Eric Anthony had an upper deck star in RF.

Joe Smith ruptured his Achilles working out last week and had surgery. He'll be out until the All-Star Break.

damn,  at least he'll save some wear on the pitch count as we head into the second half

We sign Harper yet?

I thought Achilles comebacks were usually a year.  I guess Sherman went from November to the following summer training camp, but he was limited until the season started.  

 

Anyone know whether it's his push off or plant leg?  Maybe that matters.

Toy Cannon’s shot is in LF.

Or is there one in RF too?

100%...The workout videos are pretty cool just to see what he's doing in the off season but the other stuff is lame. I respect him helping out the waitress with the huge tip but that was a really odd way of doing it.

Bregman using snap chap at the club and calling every player there his "motherfucking boyfriend" was vintage Bregman. We need more of that and less youtube Bregman.

I actually like him doing a YouTube channel, he's just marketing himself. Manfred said something about trout needing to market himself and other players needing to do more and get their name and brand out there around the all star break, I just see bregman thinking long-term and seeing he can build himself up on his terms.

Bregs just thinking long-term, of course I'm drinking at hughies right nowthough

It was Smith's plant foot, in case anyone cares.

Same injury as Zach Britton (six-months)

Same injury as Zach Britton (six-months)

Then he’ll be ready just in time for whoever our first half bullpen ace turns out to be starts to fall apart in the 2nd half.

good, mish is a miami guy.

the only way that deal makes me happy is if we win a world series in the next 2 years, which i think is possible without giving up tucker.  otherwise, we'd be keeping an eye on him his whole career, and i don't want to root against the dude.

why the fuck would he want to go play in a hitters graveyard like target field? 

i guess $14 million, but yeesh

sad nana

That deal is pretty damn good for both sides.  Low buyout.  

Meh, there’s no place for Cruz to play with the Brantley signing anyway. They are going to have to get rid of some existing players as is and/or keep Tucker in AAA. There’s not really a need there.

About all they need at this point is a mid-rotation starter.

 

Astros
Of the five teams mentioned in this story, the Astros have the best farm system. They possess the top tandem of position and pitching prospects in outfielder Kyle Tucker and right-hander Forrest Whitley, though those two have been in the organization together for a few years already.

 Astros' Top 30

Houston traded several intriguing farmhands in July for veteran reinforcements, but still saw its system stock surge thanks to the emergence of the likes of right-handers Josh James (who led the entire Minors in strikeout rate with 13.5 per nine innings), Corbin Martin, Bryan Abreu and Brandon Bielak. Outfielder Seth Beer became the system's second-best position prospect when he signed as a first-rounder in June, then hit .304/.389/.496 while reaching Class A Advanced in his pro debut.
