Heard some more smoke today about Meyers getting moved. Would make the outfield situation interesting.

So long, Orlando. The Winter Meetings are over, and here's everything you need to know about what the Astros did and what's left to do.https://t.co/XYTRin0oE9

What's the line?

I guess it would be the tweet lol, I'm not a comedian

Mike Yastrzemski agrees to Braves deal. 2 years, plus option $23M.

Dana has a chance to do one of the funniest things ever

4 years and multiple incarnations later, my Joey Gallo to the Astros' offer still stands for this thread!

Mentioned this at last years deadline. Astros love him. But the price will be steep

It was an Ohtani gambling joke…sorry.

It would be funny if he made it to the big leagues and gave up more Sac Flys than he ever hit

Red Sox look like leaders for Marte. I presume that would end their interest in Isaac as that would give them a pretty full infield.

lol that was actually my first thought but I couldn't read the sarcasm

The Astros MO doesn't seem to be trading for big names with only one year of control left. There are some guys that we had interest in when they had 2-3 (or even 1.5 at a deadline) left, but I usually cross them off the mental list when they get to the final year before FA.

I just can't see us sending a bunch of trade capital for someone they won't be willing to pay a year from now.

If he gets to the majors as a hitter, I will do everything in my power to get him marketed as "The American Ohtani"

Dana is in a tough spot, but color me underwhelmed so far.

Feel like this will be a wet fart offseason with lots of speculative reclamation signings

The biggest splash likely being a 1 year JV signing or something, trading Walker for scraps while eating a large portion of the contract, and trading Meyers for middling pitching help

Why would he even be available if he is. He's great and signed for 5 more years.

And still not adding a productive left handed hitter to the lineup. Brandon Lowe or Donovan are on my wish list but I just don't have the confidence that Dana will pull it off. Seems like creating a three team trade of some sort would get it done.

You would have 3 LHH in Alvarez, Cole/Melton, and Sanchez.

I just don't think we have anything any other teams want

---

That's what happens when you let Bregman, Correa, Springer, Cole, Valdez, and others walk. It's what makes remaining competitive so difficult, unless you're the Dodgers. You can't torpedo a playoff run by trading these stars at the deadline, but you kill your pipeline if you don't. You can start by trading your good prospects for championship rentals, but eventually you only have leftovers to offer. The only option is cash, and you'd better nail every signing to maximize your dollars. The Astros did not achieve this with Abreu and Walker.

---

This is perfectly summed up right here. Unless you have unlimited cash like the Dodgers, there is no way to sustain runs longer than what we did unless you somehow hit on 2-3 legit long term mlb talent per draft.

He said "productive" LHH. 2025 Sanchez and Cole/Melton don't fit that definition and Yordan was out/injured more than half of the season.

---

Do you think Yordan will be out half the season again? Do you value a small post-trade deadline sample or years of production?

Honestly, yes on Yordan. Until he shows otherwise, he appears pretty fragile.

Then we might as well blow it up. Yordan is too critical to this team's success.

The issue with Yordan last season is he appears to have come in to the season injured and either didn't say anything or the training staff blew it.

Frankly it could have been both. That hand thing stunk to high heaven.

Some details on Ryan Weiss’ contract with the Astros, per source: the 2027 club option is worth $5 million and has a $500,000 buyout. Weiss will make a $2 million base salary next season, but has escalators based on innings pitched that can max out at an additional $500,000

I don't disagree with you. I really do hope that he comes back healthy and killing it this season and plays 140-150 games. But we saw last year even with him in the lineup, with no other productive LH hitters and a wasteland of Mendoza candidates hitting 5-8, it was way too easy for RHP to just pitch around Yordan and we didn't have anybody behind him to keep them honest or make them pay for it.

I have been on the fence about blowing it up since about mid-2024. We still have a few guys that would be coveted enough to bring multiple high quality prospects if we are willing to part with them. If we let Pena and Brown go as FAs in the near future without getting anything more than a draft pick for them, it will be a serious mistake IMO. If we are not going to resign our own high quality guys as FAs and won't extend them to the durations it takes to get them to sign, then we have to get something for them. We are not getting what we need to keep the train rolling with draft picks alone.
