‘Stros fans - what do you think? Tucker and Framber could be on the trade block.

Astros receiving trade inquiries on Kyle Tucker: Sources
Multiple people familiar with the club’s thinking said Astros GM Dana Brown is open to dealing one of Tucker or starter Framber Valdez.

Let Breggy walk. Trade Framber. Trade Pressley. Sign Tucker in a big deal and JV to a 1-year deal with low pay/high incentives.‘Stros fans - what do you think? Tucker and Framber could be on the trade block.

I like that you have that extensive of a thought. I know I don’t want to lose Tucker - he is durable, young, good and getting better - I am annoyed that they did not sign him longterm two or three years ago - they instead haggle with him over a million dollars in arbitration which doesn’t gain favor.

Sounds like the Astros now realize they can’t afford Tucker after letting him get so close to free agency - one year. Jeepers, his price has gone up while you haggled with him in arbitration the last few years. I am pissed.

“Tucker isn’t quite in Soto’s class, but according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, he could fetch “at least $400 million to $500 million” on the open market.”
So the Astros now have a player valued at 400-500 million but they don’t have him signed to realize that value on the field or the trade market, letting his years of control drop to one, sheesh.
Yankees got burned by trading value for Soto last year and not being able to re-sign him so they aren’t going to do it again.
Astros feel Yankees low-balling in Kyle Tucker trade talks, offering ‘crap’
The Yankees have had trade talks with week with the Astros on three-time All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker, who is one season away from free agency.

Astros mismanaged their MVP by not signing him two or three years ago to a longterm deal and now he is gone for less than what he is worth, having only one year left till free agency.

Appears Astros are moving on from Bregman and Arenado, signing Christian Walker to three years at 60M to fill a hole they had last year at first base. This means Astros are resigned to Paredes at 3rd base. Walker is a Gold Glove at first. Same contract as Jose Abreu two years ago which blew up in their face because Abreu all of a sudden got old, but Walker will be 34 instead of 36 when the contract begins.
Walker declined to sign a qualifying offer with Dbacks so this will cost the Astros farm, AGAIN, this time their 2nd and 5th highest picks in the 2025 draft. At some point this has to burn the Astros, maybe like our ballooning federal debt we keep ignoring, haha. I guess that will be when Crane sells the team, uff da.

Greatest leadoff man and base stealer ever. 130 SB’s in ‘82. Insane.
