July 22, 20187 yr Seems like Carlos Correa’s back issue might be the bigger reason the Astros have interest in Abreu or at least that’s what some of their fans are speculating. Adding Jose would allow them to shift Gurriel to 3B & Bregman to SS in the event that Correa is out longer than expected. I could definitely see Luhnow trying to buy low on Abreu, just doubtful they’d offer up anything interesting enough that would get us to bite. Could explain the “inclined to hold” positioning they are taking via the Nightengale tweet.

From what it sounds like on here Abreu wouldn’t be enough to get him

From what it sounds like on here Abreu wouldn’t be enough to get him Yeah, I think they’re saving Alvarez (or Tucker) for a substantial controllable piece. I think the best we could do for Abreu at this point in time is a guy like Hector Perez as the centerpiece and a couple high upside lottery tickets. I’m not sure that’s enough for me to move him.

And this is why you don't worry about having too much depth at certain positions or worry about drafting for need.

Plus that 3B depth also was a big piece to obtain Gerrit Cole.. If the Astros want Abreu, i would guess they see something they think they can fix unless it's just purely a matter of thinking they can get him on the cheap. Edited July 22, 20187 yr by GreenSox
July 22, 20187 yr I just don't see Abreu as tradeable at this point. Let him hopefully rebound for next seasons trade deadline, barring an overpayment this year
July 25, 20187 yr Rosenthal reporting the Yankees are the front runners for Britton and that Dillon Tate has been scratched from his start.
July 25, 20187 yr Just now, DirtySox said: Glad to hear multiple prospects. Hopefully it’s a steep price.
July 25, 20187 yr Why do the tweets specifically mention Drury is not involved? It's not like has any real trade value. Unless the point is that the Orioles are getting real value and not an utility infielder. Edited July 25, 20187 yr by GreenSox

Unless the point is that the Orioles are getting real value and not an utility infielder. I think he's this month's grossly overrated Yankee by fans/media so people think he has a ton of trade value. I can't even have a conversation with a Yankees fan lately without them bringing up how good Drury is.
July 25, 20187 yr Britton has been no great shakes for the last 2 years. His numbers are nowhere near as good as either Robertson nor Kahnles were last year. His Ks are low, his WHIP is mediocre.

July 25, 20187 yr 9 minutes ago, BigHurt3515 said: But the Astros still have the chance Yeah I was just being silly. You're right though, Houston could be interested and same with the Braves. I know Britton is a lefty but with his injury problems this year and his high walk rate, the Sox might be able to land a better deal for Soria than what Baltimore got for Britton. This is very encouraging.
July 25, 20187 yr 4 minutes ago, daggins said: I guess Soria is the best rental left on the market. Club option - no rental. Shields too. Sox have the powaaah
July 25, 20187 yr 5 minutes ago, daggins said: I guess Soria is the best rental left on the market. Soria has a 2019 team option for 10M with a 1M buyout. Sox could offer Soria + 1M in a deal in case the team that trades for him doesn't want him next year.

July 25, 20187 yr For all you old timers who miss the days of starting pitchers going deep in the game, this is the future. The Yankees bullpen is so deep, their "starters" might go 3, 4 innings tops come playoff time. And it would be dumb to have them pitch longer, other than Severino.

July 25, 20187 yr After doing a google search it's looking like Dillon Tate, Josh Rogers and Cody Carroll are heading to Baltimore.
