ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 09:15 AM) Astros and Nats trying hardest to acquire Sale That's funny if they're not willing to trade Bregman. No Bregman, no Sale. It's as simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 No surprise, chisox wanted bregman in astros package. Also no surprise, astros won't deal him. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/805931158584381440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Bob Sacamano Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Come on Astros! Sign Encarnacion and make Bregman even more irrelevant to your team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The best sign to me would be Astros signing Turner (there are no rumors about this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
