Even while the Astros shop for an ace, they're also dangling two of their current starters, Collin McHugh & Mike Fiers, to create roster and payroll flexibility.

Astros and Nats trying hardest to acquire Sale

That's funny if they're not willing to trade Bregman. No Bregman, no Sale. It's as simple as that.

No surprise, chisox wanted bregman in astros package. Also no surprise, astros won't deal him.

Offering McHugh and Fliers isn't trying very hard.

Neither one of those would land a top 100 prospect and a rebuilder obviously has no interest in either.

It's not implying that they're being offered to us.

Come on Astros! Sign Encarnacion and make Bregman even more irrelevant to your team!

The trading of a Fiers or another SP should be viewed as a positive if you want a deal done with the Astros like I do. They want to free up space so they can sign an EE. They do that? They have more than enough offense and can trade Bregman.

 

side note: As an Astros fan I'd rather have Bregman than clog my lineup with EE, Beltran, Gattis, etc. Too station to station.

 

I'd imagine if they sign EE and trade for Sale you'd have a lineup with:

 

1b - ee/gattis/marwin

2b - altuve

3b - gurriel/marwin gonzalez

ss - correa

lf -beltran/ aoki

cf - springer

rf - Reddick

c- McCann/gattis

 

dh - gattis/ee

The best sign to me would be Astros signing Turner (there are no rumors about this)
