bottomed-out unfortunately in the playoffs, Tucker was phenomenal in the regular season, posting an .886 OPS with 29 home runs, 37 doubles, five triples and a career-high 112 RBI. He's also hit 89 home runs over the past three seas


god dammit if he just performs even half of his potential we have another World Series title. and got to game 7 of ALCS even with him doing literally next to nothing

now I’m pissed all over again

Huge. Just the kind of mega deal we expected. Maybe we will get an experienced bat boy in return.

Cal Quantrill traded to the Rockies for a minor leaguer.

Know he was bad last year but thought he’d be an interesting cheap reclamation option for the rotation

All seven of the Astros' arbitration-eligible players were tendered contracts: Framber Valdez, Kyle Tucker, José Urquidy, Mauricio Dubón, Chas McCormick, Bryan Abreu and Luis Garcia. The 40-man roster remains at 38.

Anyone like that with options we should be in on. I saw we’re already discussing trades with Meyers - it seems likely he would get dealt. I hope for a similar level starter with MiL options we could shuttle between the rotation, bullpen and Sugar Land if needed. You’re gonna get what you get but maybe someone with upside too

Brad Peacock with minor league options is basically what I’m describing

Spencer Turnbull was non tendered by Detroit.


Brandon Woodruff was non tendered but he'll miss 2024 for shoulder surgery

Jake Meyers for Spencer Turnbull and Austin Meadows

Austin Nola non-tendered. I really do think he’d be a good backup to Yainer but I know he was dealing with some head/eye stuff last year.

I’ve had a lot of stuff going on the last few weeks so I’m a bit out of the loop.

Obviously saw the Espada hire, but haven’t been able to check daily for any minor moves made. Have we done anything at all?

Kennedy Corona was added to the 40 man roster.



May as well fire up the spring training thread. Our off season is over.

Ausmus to the Yankees as bench coach. Bagwell may pull a reverse Reggie on us.

Hypothetical trade proposal from an MLB.com writer.


We trade away Bregman, Meyers and Arrighetti for one prospect ranked at the bottom of the top 100.

What's this guy thinking

Two things:

1) it is November 26 and Dusty Baker is NOT my manager. Keep on Fuggin off, Dusty.

2)

He was clearly thinking the two-headed GM monster Baggy Crane is running the show.

@JimDuquetteGM isn't sure the #Astros can re-sign their star third baseman next offseason.

Here's what he's hearing about Bregman's availability in the trade market:

CHICAGO WHITE SOX | 2023 RECORD: 61-101, fourth place, AL Central

WHAT MAKES THEM FASCINATING: The willingness of new GM Chris Getz to completely tear down the roster of a failed team makes the White Sox among the biggest wild cards this winter. Admittedly the roster is not swollen with desirable trade candidates, but two players in particular could reap the sort of bounty that supercharges a rebuild. The first is Cease, who hasn't missed a start in four seasons. He suffered from some wretched batted-ball luck last season on the way to a 4.58 ERA, and while he's unlikely to match his 2.20 mark from 2022, Cease will be only 28 on Opening Day and comes with two years before free agency. The other is Luis Robert Jr., who hit 38 home runs, stole 20 bases and played an elite center field this year. Getz has said he's not shopping Robert, but he will listen, and if a team is willing to package big league talent with top prospects, Getz would be a fool not to entertain it. Already he showed a desire to improve the White Sox's putrid depth when he shipped reliever Aaron Bummer to Atlanta for five players. As painful as a Robert deal would be -- he has four years left of club control -- the lack of willingness from owner Jerry Reinsdorf to spend like a big-market owner means at least half of those years would be wasted in Chicago. And as good as shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery is going to be -- really, really good -- moving Robert after a career year serves as a hedge against regression. Teams rich in young pitching match up well with Chicago, and while Cleveland is an ideal partner in a vacuum, another team deep in pitching and with a center fielder to return fits nicely, too.

THE PERFECT TRANSACTION: Trade centerfielder Luis Robert Jr. to Houston.
