Dallas the qualifying offer in hopes of bringing him back.


He’d never take it. This is his one shot for a big deal which regardless of lances status we won’t give imo when watching the direction of the front office looking for velo the last couple years

Losing LMJ for the season would hurt.

I have pretty much written Keuchel off of the roster for next year.

Rotation could look like JV, Cole, James, McHugh, Valdez/Peacock/Whitley, but I'd love to see Morton back, and I think the Astros should really go after Eovaldi in free agency. Worth calling about Sonny Gray too, but I doubt there's a deal there.

C seems to be the next biggest concern (if not the biggest concern) and I think barring a trade for Realmuto then Grandal on a shorter deal is probably the best answer.

If Valdez can correct and or limit his walks issue he’s your lefty replacement for Dallas. Then it’s just about whether he’s durable for a full season. Big if, I know.

If Lance is hurt, we may need to go out and fight for an eovaldi type guy.

To me there have to be some decisions made about our bullpen. Peacock, Devo, Harris, Smith, And Rondon. The latter two turned out to be busts as far as their impact in the post season. I’m still trying to figure out how either guy replaced Harris on the ALCS roster. Who knows whether peacock’s and devo’s effectiveness has run its course or if they’re salvageable.

Considering he would be the second best pitcher on the market. If it is like last year Astros may get him at a reasonable price
