Even while the Astros shop for an ace, they're also dangling two of their current starters, Collin McHugh & Mike Fiers, to create roster and payroll flexibility.

Even while the Astros shop for an ace, they're also dangling two of their current starters, Collin McHugh & Mike Fiers, to create roster and payroll flexibility.

Offering McHugh and Fliers isn't trying very hard.

Neither one of those would land a top 100 prospect and a rebuilder obviously has no interest in either.

The trading of a Fiers or another SP should be viewed as a positive if you want a deal done with the Astros like I do. They want to free up space so they can sign an EE. They do that? They have more than enough offense and can trade Bregman.

 

side note: As an Astros fan I'd rather have Bregman than clog my lineup with EE, Beltran, Gattis, etc. Too station to station.

 

I'd imagine if they sign EE and trade for Sale you'd have a lineup with:

 

1b - ee/gattis/marwin

2b - altuve

3b - gurriel/marwin gonzalez

ss - correa

lf -beltran/ aoki

cf - springer

rf - Reddick

c- McCann/gattis

 

dh - gattis/ee
