July 29, 2025Jul 29 Oh, the Sox can squeeze their way into this Astros: Cease, Tauchman Padres: Robert, Houser/Civale, veteran Sox pen arm of their choice, K Lee Sox: Melton (Astros prospect) Edited July 29, 2025Jul 29 by GreenSox

I should have used the term "risky"; he's also Astros #2 prospect and was in the top 100. And can play CF. No one seems to be making any decent offers for any of these major leaguers.

They need Robert or Tauchman and Houser. Trying to add and subtract at same time with Cease and Suarez.

If Astro’s #2 Melton is worthy of derision for these Sox “major leaguers,” what level of prospect can we reasonably expect Or is this just a set-up to beat on Getz, regardless of outcome.
July 30, 2025Jul 30 Just got done reading Houston might be interested in bringing Carlos Correa back.

Although there does seem to be a coalition forming that will be happy if Robert isn't traded as long as he gets his $20M option picked up even if he sucks the rest of the season. We have payroll space ! We can afford to sign shitty ,injury prone guys for $20M because the odds are so good he'll be worth the good old proverbial haul in off season or the 2026 trade deadline !! Barring all that happening yes people will not be happy with all the pitchers we end up getting in trades.

Yeah, worded like that, I'm firmly in the "posture as you like, but take the best offer on the table at 4:30 tomorrow" column.

As long as their arms don't all fall off and control abandon them right after joining the team.
