Chisoxfn Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If they just took on his contract, this would have been the perfect deal. All that said, I could see Astros flipping him in the off-season (and just buying him for the post-season push and than moving him elsewhere).

Not sure I understand an NL team acquiring Beer though. He should get flipped this offseason to an AL team.

joejoedairy Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Looks like Arizona is paying some of the salary so not a salary dump. In that case I get the sox not being a part of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that said, I could see Astros flipping him in the off-season (and just buying him for the post-season push and than moving him elsewhere). The Astros aren't moving this guy in the offseason. Their #2 starter is a free agent. They make their playoff run this year with Verlander and Cole, then next year they have Verlander and Greinke at the top of their rotation with McCullers coming back from Tommy John Surgery. They might still need pitching next offseason overall. What this does do is take an option away from the market if an org needed a front line starter but didn't want to pay for Cole.

No, I'm just not sure he has a position. It is possible though. If Abreu plays 1B, I guess he can too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Az did good . Got rid of the Greinke contract, got some prospects and replace him with Gallen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogsplash31 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Well, there goes my perfect offseason of trading for Greinke and signing Cole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
