I know Smith is probably a few years away..Do you try and move Paredes to 1B and up Bregman offer some? I don't hate that idea.

Unless this is the play, I don't love this move as much as others. Paredes is solid but I don't see him becoming an automatic superstar because of the Crawford Boxes. And I'm wondering what we're going to do in the outfield.

It's not a bad move, but maybe I'm just being too much of a fan regarding the Bregman of it all.

So what's left assuming both corners of the infield are addressed here? Left girlfriend? Is this kid a leverage guy in the bullpen? Need bullpen help, a right fielder, and then trade press

Tell me more about the potential left girlfriend options. Would it be the Kikuchi rally girl?

I am with you. I want more too but I think it's also the realization we have to get some talent now because if not, Tucker walks after the season and it's just another superstar that leaves Houston without us getting anything for him

Hayden has most recently been a jack of all trades in the pen. Some longer relief, some high(ish) leverage. He had a problem with HRs at one point.

Hey, if Parades gives you that much value, even in the 3 years, good for you guys.

So what do we realistically trade Presley for?

For sure... I'm firmly on the Trade Tucker Train... I just hope the scenario leads to Bregman coming back. It seems like there is a path, but it's muddy. Or maybe it just gives the front office options on all fronts, which makes sense as well.

But still need to figure out the outfield. I liked when Suzuki was involved.

Yeah I just don't see it. But I was wildly wrong about Kikuchi... but to be fair, everyone was

Am I missing something? This seems like a step down in trade value if we were trying to get Suzuki, Paredes, and Smith before

Or was that never realistic?

Supposedly Suzuki has a full no trade clause and wasn't willing to waive it.

That was never real. Suzuki has a no trade clause.

Apparently the deal was decided last night. They shopped it this morning then finalized it around 11am. Per Apollo's live stream.

I'd take a middle reliever that none of us know but routinely posts a sub-3.00 ERA like the guys the A's, Tigers, and Mariners routinely trot out.

I suspect it would be as much for the cap space as a return of talent.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

So unless something else happens, everyone be prepared for a heavy dose of Dubon, Jake and Chas in the OF.

I like this deal, but I don't love it. It hurts too much for 2025. This HAS to be paired with more additions for 25. I think Cam Smith is the truth and I think Paredes is going to put up #s are home and get on base like we need.

Do we go after Santander or teoscar now for the outfield or try and trade framber or Ryan for help there?

I don't know, it looks like he would have had something like 19 additional homers last year in the Crawford boxes.

This is where I land, also. Hopefully, Crane lets Dana cook up a couple of more moves to shore up the outfield and maybe another corner spot.
