Also I was impressed with Rich Hill last night and think he's a decent option for us as a deadline arm. Prefer Pomeranz but Hill would be cheaper

Maybe the As will just forget to put Hill and Valencia on the plane

Valencia is going to be a useful RH bat for someone down the stretch

I don't want to trade inside the division again but I suspect we will. Multiple links to Astros and Angels LHP Santiago.

Hopefully we aren't done at SP if we get him. He could provide some depth while also giving a lefty in the pen but he's not who we need for the rotation

Let's dance.
Time to bear down and get serious.
i can't decide.
Which ever one gets the team hitting the ball again.

Altuve is now a Boris client

Will he be in Astro or Yankee gear in the HoF?

He was with Boras before, and now went back apparently.

He's signed through 2019 anyway.

This group went to the playoffs last year, should make a run for the playoffs this year, and should be gearing up to have these key guys stay until they win the World Series.

Welp. There goes any shot at signing him to an extension for anything less than $200 million.

I mean, is there anything wrong with that? After the last 2 years and halfway through this year, I'd say he deserves every bit of it.

Sure. And I've advocated for giving altuve a long term extension. But as far as keeping Altuve, Springer and Correa together...a $200+ million contract makes it unlikely to happen. Springer is the odd man out.

Tuve has outplayed his contract, that's a fact. Getting back with Boris is a little worrisome

It won't happen. I don't see any way they keep all three. Springer will sadly be the guy they don't sign. I don't think he even wants to be here long term.

Hopefully we get CC and JA done.

should bring an absolutely astound haul when he's traded at the 2018 deadline.

He'll have 2 WS rings by the time he hits FA. He'll be looking for HUGE $$$$. And he'll deserve every penny (as much as MLB players bloated contracts go).

Can't happen. Not for the Astros. We're not gonna keep 3 guys on what would likely be contracts of at least $150MM. Based on the paces he had set in his first 2 seasons prior to injury and what he's doing now, combined his defense George is also going to get a hearty contract at some point. So yeah there's no way we can keep them all. Hopefully we can win a title while they're all still here and playing at high levels.
