@BealsMike @HebHammer94 We don’t need guys to have 2 run ERAs like you do to hope to win.
Your offense is Mickey Mouse. Has a couple of good games now and then but overall is a joke. Good luck with that.

@strohsguy @HebHammer94 You are never winning a WS with your rotation as currently constructed let alone making the post szn so goodluck with that. All of your star players have walked as well just something to keep in mind as your star hitters come closer to FA. Why not get a young cheap stud arm.
English
ESPN has Jeremy Peña at an estimated 35% chance to be traded. He’s a FA in 2028 and he’s Scott Boras guy. Houston would almost definitely ask the Red Sox for Franklin Arias or Anthony Eyanson in a trade.
Not sure I’d pull the trigger. Would you? 😬
English
@BealsMike @HebHammer94 You’re a moron. Astros have the AL MVP and third in scoring runs in the AL. Half way decent pitching will will the WS.
We have more stars in the lineup than you have on your 40 man roster. And we kicked your ass this year and in prior years.
STFU loser.
English
Now need to find pathway to add Wheeler #Phillies and Wrobleski #LADodgers
MLB@MLB
Braxton Ashcraft, Jesús Luzardo and Riley O’Brien have all been named to the NL All-Star team! They replace Jacob Misiorowski, Max Meyer and Paul Skenes on the roster.
English
@BealsMike @HebHammer94 Not the same. No forecast for Roman or Casas so good luck with that. Our pitchers are on rehab in AAA and will all be back in July. Rather give guys who have won WS with us a chance than some guys who have never won anything.
English
@strohsguy @HebHammer94 The Red Sox would be dumb to trade an injured early anyways when it would be half his value. His injury isn’t expected to be long term as well. The Astros may have vets coming back to help them but that’s like me saying the Red Sox having hitters come back to help them

I am working on a Trade Deadline primer which highlights each team's plan heading into the August 3 deadline and which players could be on the move
What is one move you would like to see your favourite team do?
English
@EnterSamdman Yankees prospects never pan out. Judge is the last one that did.
English
Not saying the Padres will ever trade him, but he's the guy you give up Will Warren & Spencer Jones etc for this deadline.
Everything Yankees@eyyankees
The Padres are in a complete tailspin. Future looks bleak, falling out of the WC race. Do they entertain moving Mason Miller? Yankees had known interest last deadline. Could be something to monitor as we move closer to August 3rd.
English
@JeremyBranham No question. But Clemens was damn good the 3 years he was here.
English
Greatest starting pitcher in Houston Astros history.
Astros Future@AstrosFuture
Justin Verlander has announced he will retire at the end of the season. Hall of fame career overall but also a DOMINANT run in Houston: 2.71 ERA | 810.1 IP | 962 K 2x World Series Champ (2017, 2022) 2x AL Cy Young Winner (2019, 2022) 1x ERA Title (2022) 2017 ALCS MVP 🔥🔥🔥
English
@BealsMike @HebHammer94 We’re not gonna take guys out from the third highest scoring offense in the AL and weaken that to add starting pitchers coming off injury. We already have that. Sandoval is an ex Astro farmhand we got rid of and has mainly been a loser with the Angels. Early is hurt. No thanks
English
@strohsguy @HebHammer94 Respectfully none of those guys are even close to the caliber of young pitching Boston can offer. You already have a bunch of infielders. It makes more sense then ur willing to admit
English
@BealsMike @HebHammer94 Really?
Cristian Javier 35-23 3.82 career ERA including no hitter in WS
Ronel Blanco 18-11 3.45 career ERA including no hitter
Lance McCullers 53-40 3.85 career ERA and multiple WS
Hayden Wesneski 10-16 ( mostly with Cubs) 4.01 caree ERA
English
@BealsMike @HebHammer94 What? Javier just got activated. Blanco, Wesneski and McCullers are pitching in rehab. 2 of 3 expected next week and the other during July.
We don’t need your injured guys.
English
@strohsguy @HebHammer94 When those starters return. Which none are expected to be long term. Boston will have more starters then they can use and it would be stupid to waste early or Bennetts bullets in triple A.
English
@BealsMike @HebHammer94 Boston has 3 injured starters. Astros have 4 coming back from injury- Javier, Blanco, Wesneski and McCullers. Javier and McCullers making $38M. Ain’t happening.
English
@strohsguy @HebHammer94 They have a clear need for pitching tho and Boston has like 5 guys they could trade and be at the top of ur rotation
English
@DanBFox1287 Why would they take a guy hitting .200 and a guy just coming off injury for a guy who has 20 HR and 60 RBis at the break? Charity, so that the Red Sox go to the playoffs instead of the Astros? They just activated Javier, and have Blanco and McCullers back soon. Roll of dice.
English
I know this says Astros are looking for righty relief help, but considering they only have 3 starters with an ERA under 6, I think they could use some rotation help too
I wonder if they would consider a swap of Christian Walker for Jarren Duran and Patrick Sandoval. The money lines up
MLB Trade Rumors@mlbtraderumors
Astros Still Looking For Left-Handed Outfielder, Righty Relief mlbtraderumors.com/2026/07/astros…
English
@AstrosShoulda Fully agree. Hope Javier can take a spot and either Blanco or Lance.
Not that any of these guys are a sure thing but at least they have some pedigree.
English
Burrows and Imai back to back in the rotation is bed shittery of epic proportions. Bullpen taxed, Espada clueless, diarrhea on top of food poisoning. It’s worse than Diaz batting after Jake Meyers
English
@MicrophoneMilo Agree. Imai is a talented nut job. Burrows is a no talent bum ( some talent but not a major league one)
English
Imai has a lot more potential than Burrows.
The former’s issues are largely mental. The latter just physically doesn’t have what it takes. The fastball is too flat to get by consistently at the Major League level.
#Astros
Johnathon Lee@Johnathonlee
Imai and Burrows are the same pitcher. Dana Brown masterclass
English
Bryan Abreu is warming for the eighth inning of a three-run game.
English
Tatsuya Imai against the Nats: 3.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 84 pitches, 52 strikes, 43 swings, 10 whiffs, 86.3 mph average exit velocity. A blister/cut on Imai's pitching hand gave him some problems. Imai has failed to finish four innings in 5 of his 13 starts. His ERA is 6.06
English
@HoustonAggie17 @Chandler_Rome But still need another vet right handed arm in the pen for high leverage.
English
@Chandler_Rome Yeah, Dana gotta go. This LH/RH pigeon holing stuff needs to stop.
You need an OF bat. And a leverage bullpen arm. Period.
Their handedness does not matter. Field a proper team and then we can get cute with matchups. Right now you have major gaps you need to fill.
English
Dana Brown reiterated today that the Astros' focus at the trade deadline is a left-handed hitting outfielder. They would also be open to a right-handed reliever.
English
@HoustonAggie17 @Chandler_Rome Fully agree with you. We need an outfielder who can hit and drive in runs. We have 3 gaping holes in the OF, Cam we can live with as he has promise but the other 2 are luck of the day. The pen is solid for the most part, and we’ve had Santa ( until today) and Ullola in AAA.
English
@brianmctaggart So Javier who went 6 innings his last Sugar Land outing and Lance are not options??
English
Dana Brown said pitching prospect Ethan Pecko is an option to join the rotation in Burrows' place, along with Ronel Blanco, who pitches a rehab game today at Triple-A. Pecko was the PCL Pitcher of the Month for June.
