@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.

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

@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
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.

@TyTalksBaseball For taking on a $16M ( left) contract on a guy just coming off elbow surgery you would overpay? I see no reason to give up a top 100 prospect plus one on the cusp for 2 months of Skubal. Insanity.

@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!
English
@PCreighton1 @MicrophoneMilo It’s not just Yordan. Ryan plays for a small market team, zero pressure, and pitches well when it doesn’t matter. Agree that he’s better than Burrows but for my dime I’d go get someone else.
English
@MicrophoneMilo @strohsguy Yordan kills him, but no one else has Yordan.
English
@TyTalksBaseball It’s not gonna take two top 100 MLB prospects for 1/2 year of Skubal at his salary. Probably Meyer, Pecko and Janek. If Tigers pick up the $16M owed then a top 100 prospect.
English
Why do you want us to not have Xavier Neyens & Kevin Alvarez?
Michael Schwab@michaelschwab13
Astros are going to win the World Series when they get Skubal
English
@JeremyIKaufman Dubon was better than everyone not named Yordan or Cam last year but his first half this year is a fluke. He will come back down to earth soon.
English
What’s hilarious about Mauricio Dubon having 2.5 war this year is the entire non-Yordan outfield (Cam, Meyers, Matthews, Loperfido, Trammell, Dezenzo) has 2 war COMBINED.
English
Edwin Díaz said MLB did not reach out to him about the cockfighting story that previously came out. He said everything he did was legal in Puerto Rico and he’s focused on pitching again for the Dodgers.
English
@SleeperAstros No team is going to give them two top 100 MLB prospects for 1/2 year.
Maybe not even 1. The guy is good but a bit of damaged goods.
English
At least one of Neyens or Alvarez if not both in my opinion

@SleeperAstros @BNightengale What would a deal for skubal look like for astros
