You and I have differed on where this organization stood since post ASB '25, I would guess
I definitely did at the ASB in 2025. They were 16 games over .500 and 6 games up in the division. You can take a victory lap on their collapse again, but no team in baseball history has ever triggered a mid season rebuild in that position. A 2012-2013 scorched earth approach would have been the only way forward because of the (justified) backlash.
I would have had zero issue doing so last winter after the way 2025 ended, or at any point since. It was obvious they were not going to.
At minimum they should trade Pena, Paredes, Brown. I don’t think they’d trade Yordan and it would hurt me if they did, but I’d get it. They can’t trade Altuve or Correa unless either player approves it and neither would return positive value in a trade.
I would be stunned if they do this. I think they will trade Pena, the return will almost certainly not be as productive as what they’ve gotten for Tucker, and they’ll jigsaw some lineup together that finishes around .500

Bring back Luhnow and rebuild
One can only dream.
Still remember that big hit piece from the Athletic years back that had quotes from other MLB execs on the Astros organization. They described it as an organization run not as a baseball club but a “cold hearted corporation”.
Ironically other clubs probably ended up emulating Luhnow’s framework while the Astros abandoned it.
Now we are back to some screwed up version of a good ole boys club from yesteryear that’s run by the owner and his cronies.
This organization needs to be blown up and rebuilt again.

Fastest path to make it back to a WS is
1. CRANE relinquish all influence on baseball decisions and hire a legit GM who has autonmy. No more senior advisor BS for bagwell.
2. trade everyone of value and restock the farm with players set to hit MLB between 2028-2030.
The end.

NY Post said don’t expect anything on Espada and GM until after the World Series. Goddammit

Indications from some in the industry is that one of the current AGMs will be hired.

Don’t disagree with anything you said
Not a victory lap
I take no pleasure in Astros losses, not even when they result in financial gain
My fandom is deep rooted. To a fault

I question your fandom, as well as all others, as there were no birthday wishes for Nick Allen amongst this band of merry men.
Posted on 10/8/26 at 10:58 pm to Uncle Mike23
Nick Allen did less for this organization than James Mouton. LOL
I know you’re not being serious, but I met him recently scouting my nephew, and as diehard an Astros fan as I have been, his name did not jump out at me
Took me a minute to remember him. And yes, he did more than Nick Allen. LMAO

Saw the club hired Nate Rasmussen to be a part of the amateur scouting dept. He is a former college pitcher, pitching coach and creator of rhe NWBB site which provides in depth advanced stats and analysis and player profiling for 57 teams across multiple college levels and summer ball leagues.
I love this hire and hope its a signal that we are coming to our senses a bit.

So, outside of Crane and Bagwell's legacy picks, we should have a couple with a chance to make a difference

If tweet fails to load, click here. Guess this gives us some clarity on the manager situation? Or Joe is saying screw it he's not going to be left in limbo while a decision is made.

LMAO please go to Seattle

I think technically he’s not under contract anymore so he can meet with anyone. It would be stunning if they rehired him at least to me, I think it’s pretty obvious that is not happening
