@AstrosFuture He’s hitting .237 with 17 HRs…. And making $37M/year. Angels would have to pay down the contract big time to move him.

Y’all think the Angels finally move him? I know Trout has a NTC but you’d think he’d want to waive it to play for a contender finally.

The Los Angeles Angels now have the worst record in baseball. On Kalshi, Mike Trout has a 65% chance of still being with the team on Opening Day 2027. Is it time for the Angels to finally move him?
English
@JeremyIKaufman Blanco should take Burrows place in the rotation. LMJ could take Pearson’s place and Sousa takes De Los Santos place.
English
Astros gonna have interesting decisions to make on Blanco and LMJ very soon.
Michael Schwab@michaelschwab13
Injury updates Blanco and McCullers at AAA tomorrow. Peña this week for AAA
English
@yanks_IND The league also watched Judge shit his pants in the playoffs.
English
Because the league watched Judge post a 200 WRC+ for the last 4 years
Astros Knower@AstrosKnower
No idea why MLB isn’t making this a bigger deal. We’re witnessing greatness.
English
@JefferyReyjwr @RedSox @espn @astros @SFGiantsFans What a joke. The Astros are a game out of the WC and have had the best record in baseball since mid-May and they’re going to trade Pena to the Sox? ESPN is either stupid or retarded.
English
The @RedSox are targeting infield upgrades ahead of the August 3 trade deadline, with @espn naming @astros SS Jeremy Peña and @SFGiantsFans 3B Matt Chapman as the "best fits" to fill injury gaps.

It’s hard to believe that after all this time, Mike Trout would finally waive his NTC, and that another team would take on a substantial portion of his remaining 4.5 years at ~$37 million a season. Still a quality player when healthy, though.

@Castellani2014 You keep hearing he wants to stay there. Which tells me he enjoys the lack of pressure in winning.
English
The only way that Trout gets moved at this point is if the Angels eat a good chunk of the money and essentially trade him as a thank you for his loyalty.
I think a separation would be healthy for both parties. Trout deserves a chance at a ring and the Angels need a full reset.

@discussbaseball And why would the Astros trade Paredes? Are you living under a rock?
English
More trade deadline fits I like a lot:
- Isaac Paredes (PHI)
- Ryan Jeffers (NYY)
- Taylor Ward (TB)
- Michael Wacha (MIA)
- Foster Griffin (CHC)
- Mickey Moniak (ATL)
- Robbie Ray (CWS)
- Garrett Whitlock (CIN)

@strohsguy Well like I said, I would not do this trade.
English
If I had to make a REALISTIC guess for what it'd cost the #Astros to trade for Skubal, it would look something like this.
For the record, I would not do this trade.

@Chandler_Rome He should wire his interpreter a few million and ask him to bet on his next game. Whether he will pitch 1/3 of an inning or 6.
English
Tatsuya Imai, who is starting tomorrow at Nationals Park, is throwing off the stadium mound before Astros BP. It's not a bullpen session and his catcher — interpreter Shio Enomoto — is standing up, but still noteworthy for someone who has struggled to adjust to different mounds
English
@Matthew_Gaskin You put em in a lineup with Yordan and suddenly their numbers will be better. With all due respect to the Dodgers and Cubs, no one has a hitter like Yordan.
English
Astros didn't pay Tucker or Bregman. Their current teams' fanbases want them gone, immediately. Dana be knowing what he doing, sometimes.
Jaketendo@jaketheyoshifan
Alex Bregman might be in my bottom 10 least favorite Cubs list (of all time) Dude is just a total loser
English
@mlbranks925 @TyTalksBaseball The entire Detroit Tigers 40 man plus farm wouldn’t get them Yordan
English
@TyTalksBaseball Nope its Yordan and Pena for Casey Mize no take-backs
English
@Zippy_TMS Jeff Luhnow was his farm director when he had success. When Luhnow left so did Mozeliak’s success.
English
If anyone could step into the Padres org and take it to the next level, from MLB to int'l scouting, it might be John Mozeliak. The Cardinals were a top-notch organization under his watch. If the new ownership is considering a regime change, he might be one to target.
ESPN@espn
The Los Angeles Angels fired general manager Perry Minasian on Friday, while also announcing that longtime executive John Mozeliak will be brought in as a consultant to the baseball operations department. spr.ly/6017BDoTAt

@Chandler_Rome Shewmake and Delgado should be up here. Allen should be traded for a bag of balls or peanuts
English
This means Braden Shewmake is back off the injured list. No official announcement or corresponding move from the Astros.
Chandler Rome@Chandler_Rome
The Astros against Miles Mikolas: Altuve 4, Alvarez DH, Paredes 5, Walker 3, Wade 7, Smith 9, Diaz 2, Shewmake 6, Matthews 8 Burrows RHP

@SleeperRedSox @JeffPassan The Astros aren’t trading Jeremy Pena. They will add without giving up any of their big pieces. Their farm is perpetually underrated and produces major leaguers every year including guys like Pena, Hunter Brown, Arrighetti, Wilyer Abreu in the past 5 years.
English
The top trade candidates for the Red Sox, according to
@JeffPassan
🔴: Aroldis Chapman - 90%
🔴: Sonny Gray - 25%
🔴: Willson Contreras - 40%
The Red Sox are also listed as a potential “best fit” for Jeremy Peña as the Astros were interested in Sonny Gray.
English
@PCreighton1 @espn The national media does not like the Astros success. They are hoping by not mentioning them or their players they will go away. Doesn’t help that the team does zero publicity around its players and the local media has a negative or at best neutral view of every Houston team.
English
Thoroughly impressive (if not utterly ridiculous) that Bradford Doolittle could write a piece on AL MVP for @espn and managed to write ZERO WORDS about #Astros Yordan Alvarez - whom he ranked #2 in the race at current.
NOT A SINGLE WORD.

@AdamJWexler Rockets should be going after him, but instead they’ll probably sign Van Vleet to an extension and hope his knees hold up. Dumb ass team.
English
DeRozan is 5th on the active scoring list (LeBron, KD, Harden, Russ).
- He's scored the 7th most points in the last 7 seasons, while playing in just 1 playoff series during that span.
- Only LeBron has attempted more 2ptFG than DeRozan among active players
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Just in: The Sacramento Kings are waiving DeMar DeRozan, making the six-time All-Star one of the top free agents, sources tell ESPN. The sides worked collaboratively on this resolution after exploring trade routes.
English
@BRWalkoff @kerrancejames Astros with best record in baseball last 41 games. You can ignore them and hope they are not one of the top 10.
English
@JeremyBranham Add on top of that it’s 5 inning Skubal as he’s damaged goods.
English
@JeremyBranham That’s BS. Half a season of Skubal is not even worth two MLB top 100 prospects especially if they have to take on $16M in remaining salary
English
Xavier Neyens, Kevin Alvarez, Spencer Arrighetti, Miguel Ullola, Ethan Pecko and Jason Schiavone for Tarik Skubal gets it done.
Michael Schwab@michaelschwab13
“The Houston Astros, badly needing an outfielder, are showing strong interest in Mickey Moniak and Jake McCarthy of the Colorado Rockies. They also plan to be in the Tarik Skubal and Sonny Gray sweepstakes.” Per @BNightengale Wow!
