If that happens they will replace the Astros as the favorite for the World Series next year. I know they cut back their spending a few years ago, but they don't mind shelling out the luxury tax. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-rumors-trades-and-signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild74 Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Jake Marisnick gone to the Mets for two minor leaguers. Will miss Jake he was a great defensive player, couldn't hit his weight but was a valuable Astro for a number of years. Jake was set to make about 3 million this year and Straw will be taking his place and he is a lot cheaper according to the Astros web page.

If Jake could have hit .250 he would have been an invaluable player to keep. Unfortunately his BA was declining every year. He was given every chance. Good luck to him in NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Strausburg resigns with Washington for $245 million. Cole expected to sign soon with a price tag north of $300 million. I really hoped Strausburg would be our backup plan for when Cole left, but when he got WS MVP I knew he would be too expensive. I think more dominoes fall now...

KirtFalcon Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 When Cole abandoned his Astros cap live on tv immediately after game 7, I washed my hands of him ... zero loyalty to stand with his team mates ... good riddance ... don't let the door hot you in the #### on your way out .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I don't expect Houston to cover the $300 million price tag. I feel like that will be something the Yankees, Angels, or Dodgers pay. I have heard the Rangers name come up, but I really feel like they will blow their money on Rendon (Not a bad way to spend it, just not something I would be happy to see as an Astros fan).

Wild74 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Cole was a shutdown type pitcher but he could only pitch every 5th day. So he will not break Houston by losing him, we still have a very good staff and there is potential coming up. Ready to hear what this sign stealing mess is all about and whether it is true or not, I don't trust Fiers to be telling the whole truth but I will wait and see, I am looking forward to a whole year with Alvarez and having McCullers back.

topher805 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Houston open to trading Correa. Not saying he is being shopped, but they will listen to offers. Astros very active in Cole talks. What. A. Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I may be in minority but I’m open to trading Correa. Has not took a step forward in 3 years and is injury prone. For the right price pull the trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
