Doubt it happens based on everything I have heard, but would be funny given the way his free agency has played out. More likely to move Paredes to the outfield and let him give rest to the others as needed.

Altuve
Bregman
Alvarez
Diaz
Walker
Paredes
Pena

Mix the lineup how you want but thats a nice top 7. Find a way to move Press and/or Caratini. Grab an outfielder and lets get to work.

I want to see Bregman come back. For 6/140 though. He had his shot at 6/156 so now it's 6/140.

Make it happen cappen.

Looking for the first shoulder-height line drive that goes 10 feet over Altuve's head.

I know neither of these is very likely to happen, but can you imagine if Breggy comes back and we can swing a deal for Profar?

1. Altuve
2. Profar
3. Yordan
4. Breggy
5. Walker
6. Diaz
7. Paredes
8. Pena
9. Chas/Dubon/Meyers/Dezenzo/Trammel

The Dodgers have threatened to forfeit the season if Profar is not traded to them immediately.

I brought it up last year that we should at least consider this. Throwing from LF is arguably less important than 2B because 1) you do it less often 2) you can build up momentum and 3) accuracy is less critical. He would definitely need to build up his technique but I think it's completely viable. Keep in mind he won't be a good LF but he's already a terrible 2B so does it really matter?

The OF free agent well is certainly drying up.

Verdugo, Winker, Gamel and Sheets are the only LHH of any value on the list.

If we wanted RHH, Duvall and Hays jump out.

Personally, I'd like to see the Astros take a flier on Dylan Carlson. He's a switch hitter -- former vote getter for NL ROY in 2021. He's only 26 and hasn't completely put it together in the majors.

Now that the OF market dried up what is the point of just shedding salary?

Both can be true, no? He's on the verge of joining the cubs would mean he's still an Astro….

Reading between the lines, sounds like "he's not gonna waive it for the Cubs".

Case in point.

Though I do know the Cubs have interested in Pressly, I have no idea if there's interest in his part.

Bregman doesn't make sense. If you have the payroll room, you get a cheap LH OF and spend the funds on a leverage relief arm and call it good.

Who are we expected to get in return? Is it straight salary dump?

He hasn't but they haven't said he won't. Didn't 2015 say he wants an extension? If they did that he'd probably waive it.
