Padres are working on a possible Mason Miller trade. Not done yet, but they are talking.

You're right. It's late. Put him at Short, Dubon in left or CF and then only need 1 of those 3 OF.
Alcantara - Astros have experience with pitchers coming back from TJ. Controllable and had elite stuff, also perhaps affordable
vague tweeting past midnight
It appears that the Astros are closing in on another deal.

Astros still have too many AAAA guys on the roster, this may be a year they do 3 or 4 trades.
It is 1030 on the west coast, who knows
good point, you know Preller isn't sleeping tonight lol

He's $6.5 million cheaper than Lance next season. Both have ERAs over 6, but Sandy has pitched 65 more innings.
It would probably be too much to ask to see if they'd take Lance back with prospects.
That makes no sense. Why would they want Lance?
Funny on how one dude guessing that a deal has 'cooled' is then reported as fact by media outlets but then that is what passes for journalism these days

So, for now, lineup in Boston (mostly copying Wednesday)
Altuve 2B
Yainer C/DH
Walker 1B
Smith RF
Caratini DH/C
Urias 3B
Dubon SS
Melton CF
Chas or Trammell LF
Still thin, imo
You misspelled Peña
Dubon at 2B, Pena at SS, and Altuve at LF.
If Melton is moved then Astros need to land Mullins, can't be rolling with the Chas/Corona tandem and putting pressure on Jake to return earlier. Then when Jake returns you have some quality OF depth
Career wRC+ vs RHP:
Isaac Paredes 116
Ramon Urias 109
Mauricio Dubon 78
Isaac Paredes 116
Ramon Urias 109
Mauricio Dubon 78
So Seattle got their guy but any rumors in what the Rangers are doing here at the deadline?
With their pitching it seems like an extra bat would help them. Surprised I haven't seen their name being mentioned much.

Padres aren't budging. They're close. This may be leaked out to get them to come down a little.
Any idea on their asking price? Sorry if you've answered that already
My prediction for today: we add a starting pitcher and a bullpen piece, That's it.
When we get Cease we can celebrate at Pluckers with Jaeger shots

Yikes, so not only does Correa have to live in the ****hole that is Minnesota (yes, I know he has a nice house likely in a gated community) but it sounds like their facilities/amenities/food are dog **** as well.
The Texas Rangers, who are under financial constraints, are hoping to clear a bit of payroll today to bring in help for their bullpen. They are tied with the Seattle Mariners for the third and final wild-card spot.

The St. Louis Cardinals, who are wide open for business, have several teams_including the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies_ expressing interest in the likes of Lars Nootbaar, Alec Burleson and Brendan Donovan

It's already 8:30 am eastern. Why are there no Astros completed trade stories being reported!!?
Good pitcher, decent bat.
That's all we need! Get it done
That's all we need! Get it done

Check back in within an hour after the deadline officially passes. Gonna be a long day...
Giants closer Camilo Doval is now being discussed in possible trade scenarios. Many relievers went yesterday but still on board: M. Miller, R. Suarez, Bednar, D. Santana, C. Smith, Jax, R. Iglesias, P. Maton, P. Johnson, S. Wilson, Finnegan, Fairbanks, more (not all will move)

Finamcial constraints? Major market with a new stadium? Sounds like cheap ownership.EastCoastAgNc said:The Texas Rangers, who are under financial constraints, are hoping to clear a bit of payroll today to bring in help for their bullpen.

Some of the factors today:

1. The Padres are working on a lot of possibilities, and some within the industry expect them to go big, in some fashion.
2. What will the Astros' response be to the Mariners' big play?
3. The Orioles have a lot to sell by the deadline -- will they find…
Need more offense
Yeah, what is up with that? Unless it's the $750MM in contracts they have between SS and 2B
Nobody watches the Rangers.
