Correct. I think I've mentioned it here but I've been told there's a less than 1% chance.gigemJTH12 said:texasaggie2015 said:
Nobody is assuming Tucker will re-sign. It's very very unlikely he will. The organization will be fine without Gilbert, as the outfield depth is very strong.
That said, I don't want to move him unless it's the right move.
Very unlikely Tucker stays in Houston?
Meanwhile, the #Astros are the heavy favorites to land Justin Verlander IF he is traded.

The Mets have been open to trade talks involving players whose contracts are up at the end of 2024.

That includes the Polar Bear.
Pete Alonso has been available on the market over the last week, sources tell @TimBritton and @WillSammon.

Scrap julks/meyers and put Dubon in LF

Hypothetically, if that got it done you still have lots of assets left.
Do you then go after Lorenzen or Rodriguez? Or try for another big bullpen arm?

Glibert, Jose Abreu, Julks and Meyers for JV and Alonso.
If we got JV it would be triple digits...tjack16 said:

The Rays are acquiring RHP Adrian Sampson, RHP Manny Rodríguez and international free agent money from the Cubs for RHP Josh Roberson, per source. @sahadevsharma was on it.

Would he not at least run it by Dana before pulling the trigger? So Dana would at least have the opportunity to say..."Dude..."texasaggie2015 said:
My only concern is I'm not sure if I trust Crane to not massively overpay considering he's handling these negotiations. Be smart, Jim.

Have at it, Jim!
Several other teams in on Verlander believe that Astros/Jim Crane will step up and be most motivated to get him.

For. And frankly they were awful. Both the tactics and the skill level of the players were bad. Mostly a one play team - lump it down the left, run on it, try a hit a cross in and hope for the best. And when that didn't work, pretend like you have never played defense in your life.Willy Wonka said:

We discussed this earlier this morning, but I was just told the Astros have given the Mets a deadline for a JV deal to be agreed upon. No idea what the timetable is.
