I don't see why anyone would want Wandy. He makes way too many easily avoidable mistakes for someone at his career point and he just doesn't ever seem to keep focus.

Sounds like he's a perfect fit for Ozzie and the Marlins.

Carlos is batting near .150 in the last 10 games.

Coincidence?

I think not.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Carlos' contract only allow him to veto a trade to certain organizations, or is it the entire MLB? I heard on the radio that he has the ability to veto a trade to certain teams, and other teams he has no say in the matter.

If this is the case, if I were Luhnow I would sit him down and tell him that I will find a trade to a team that you cannot veto if you decide to cancel the deal with the Dodgers. So you may as well accept the deal and have an opportunity to win some games in the postseason, because otherwise he will just be traded to another team that may not be any better than we are

Lee's limited no-trade clause means he has to give the Astros a list of 14 teams to which his contract may not be assigned (he had the ability to change that list at the end of last year). The limited no-trade clause supersedes his 10-5 rights to veto any trade.

Astros drop to 32-47. Mills may be circling the drain. Onto Pittsburgh for a very losable 4-game series

There are only a handful of teams that would even trade for him. You would have to have a contender desperate for a bat. A crappy team won't look twice at Carlos

Buster Olney tweeted Fat Carlos has not changed his mind and will likely not agree to the deal.

Time to sit his ass on the bench.

What a ****ing joke if that's true. The one time Carlos has a chance to actually do something to benefit the Astros and he screws us again. I honestly cannot believe that someone would rather play on this team if they had the opportunity to play in the postseason with another team. It is unbelievable how little this guy cares about winning

Dodgers pulled the plug on the deal. It's off.

Shocked by Lee...he should have gone if for no other reason than the piles of money he's gotten from the Stros with little to no meaningful return.

A dick move for sure.

I hope Luhnow demotes him to AAA after the trade-dead line and makes it clear to Lee that there won't be any interest in signing a 1 year contract with him next year anymore.

nothing would make me happier if they don't trade him is after the deadline sending his ass to AAA and no one will pick him up because of the contract.

On the bright side, Altuve earned himself a well-deserved All Star nod.

Exactly. Is there any more player on the team that is the exact opposite that el caballo gordo than Altuve.

This team is so badly coached. How does JD not tag up on that and get to 3rd with one out? I've said it before, and I'll say it until he's gone...Dave Clark is the worst 3rd base coach ever.

Comments from that article are sad. Some are saying he's been an incredible asset over the past 5 years. Another brought in politics and income tax for not moving to LA.

It pains me to watch this team. I wish I would just ignore them, but I always find myself turning on FSN Houston anyways to watch this disaster of a team take the field every night. Drayton, Ed Wade and Purpura royally ****ed us

I don't see it getting worse next year. I believe the rock bottom was last year. At least this year's team is winning home games. Next year the lee contract is finally gone and some good prospects will be getting very close if not on the team already
