@TolleEnthusiast @WillKunkelV Houston isn’t TRADING Pena for Abreu!!!!
Dude, I need to get what you’re smoking!!
English

Per @WillKunkelV the Astros do not wan't Jarren Duran.
Unless the Astros are giving us an unreal package...I think it's time to pivot.
Im not even sure Parades could headline a package for Willy. Would definitely be looking more towards Peña.

English

@TolleEnthusiast Payton, YOUR’RE HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
This TRADE is so 1-sided in favor of BOSTON!
English

@TyTalksBaseball WHY are so many people “overvaluing” Duran when it comes to a TRADE for Parades????
this deal here by “Ty Talks Baseball” is Ridiculous!
4-players for Duran??
maybe ADD-IN Bello or Tolle along with Duran for these 4-players.
English

He also mentions that Abreu would be included. That would be a HUGE overpay, unless the Astros are getting another solid Arm in this deal...
We'll see how real this is.
Mr. Garcia@GlenielGarcia2
A deal for Isaac Paredes heats up and it’s believed Duran is a part of it. According to a Houston Radio show.
English

@ggeiss_mlb what are you TRADING to “acquire” Parades?
because if it’s NOT Duran, then Parades will remain in Houston!!
English

@HtownWheelhouse @astros @RedSox I’m hoping this is NOT the discussion, if we are TRADING Parades for Duran and Boston wants to unload Bello, then I’m sure we can package a couple others like Arrighetti, Blubaugh or Dezenzo and a couple “Minor Leaguers”

English

@TolleEnthusiast Payton, we want DURAN to play in our Outfield!
If you want to move him with DURAN, then we can talk about ADDING others….
English

@BenVVilliams @AstrosKnower Ben, you are smoking something that I need to get.
Parades, Abreu, Janek and Blubaugh for Duran is CRAZY!
We are not playing PS5 or Xbox here…. you really seem to place a HIGH value on Duran, who’s really only played 2-full seasons in MLB.
English

@AstrosKnower I firmly believe a deal for Duran must involve Bryan Abreu.
Boston wants to get win-now pieces which Paredes and Abreu would help with. Their weakest aspect is their bullpen.
Package for Duran is:
I. Paredes
B. Abreu
W. Janek (BOS has need for C of future)
AJ Blubaugh
English

@tincup05 Im such a huge Red Sox fan that I want them to send one of their best players to the Astros. It takes both sides to come to an agreement. Forgive me for not being blind and saying IsAaC fOr DuRaN sTrAiGhT uP. Let’s be real here.
English

@MattCouture5 Matt, the ASTROS aren’t TRADING Parades for anyone BUT Duran (or Abreu).
Anyone else involved in the trade, would mean the Astros ADD Minor Leaguers or players like Meyers, Sanchez, King.
The DEAL is not Parades for Bello.
English

Red Sox talks with the Astros regarding Paredes have intensified in recent days, per sources
Multiple avenues have been discussed. Astros like both Bello and Duran, among others. Both are seemingly available via trade but will require more on top of Paredes to get it done
Matt Couture@MattCouture5
I’d keep an eye out for Bello/Paredes deal
English

@TolleEnthusiast Houston IS NOT trading Parades for Bello!!!
The “only” was Boston get Parades is for DURAN!
If Boston wants to include Bello, then Houston will “ADD” players like Blubaugh or Arrighetti and a Minor leaguer like Dezenzo or Whitcomb, possibly Matthews.
English

I have been pushing very hard for a Bello - Parades swap this past week. This would honestly complete our team.

Matt Couture@MattCouture5
I’d keep an eye out for Bello/Paredes deal
English

@MattCouture5 Houston isn’t TRADING Parades for Bello, it’s gotta be Parades for Duran.
then possibly adding Bello (and maybe Early or Hicks) for Arrighetti and Dezenzo.
English

@AstrosKnower this trade proposal is “crazy” …. why would we trade Arrighetti, Matthews and a “kid” we just signed for Harrison?
Replace Harrison with Bello and ADD Early or Hicks and Houston gives you Arrighetti and a “lower level” prospect.
English

@michaelschwab13 I want to KEEP PARADES!!!!!!
TRADE Walker and $10-million to anyone needing a 1B.
“If” we are trading Parades to Boston, I want Duran and a relief pitcher!!
English

@michaelschwab13 I agree 110%!!!
I’d be calling him ASAP!
Tucker = Right Field
Cole/Smith = Center Field
Altuve/Cole/Smith = Left Field
Meyers - Trade him for a “Quality”bullpen arm to go with Abreu and Hader
Walker - Trade him to the Mets for prospects….
English

If Tucker’s market is not as strong, it’d be wise for the Astros to make a call to Tucker. Or maybe they already have?
MLB Network@MLBNetwork
“I think his market has plummeted. I think the versatility of Bellinger has made him more of the Plan A for teams than Tucker…” - @StevePhillipsGM on Kyle Tucker’s market
English

The #Bucs are signing safety Marcus Banks to their practice squad, per source.
Banks was with Tampa Bay last year and in camp this summer before suffering a quad injury — but he’s now fully recovered and returns to the team.

English

@michaelschwab13 Walker will be TRADED out of H-Town and Paredes will be out 1B in 2026.
Personally, the Meyers and Chas experience should be OVER and a NEW CF (with an above average arm and can hit for average) should be sought out.
English

2026:
1. Jeremy Peña
2. Isaac Paredes
3. Jose Altuve
4. Yordan Alvarez
5. Carlos Correa
6. Christian Walker
7. Yainer Diaz
8. Zach Cole/Cam Smith/Jesus Sanchez
9. Jake Meyers
SP:
Hunter Brown
Cristian Javier
Spencer Arrighetti
Jason Alexander
Lance McCullers Jr
AJ Blubaugh
(Wesneski and Blanco after the All Star break)
Setup: Bryan Abreu
Closer: Josh Hader
