A reminder that the Astros were on a mission in 2022. 🔥

[Ben Verlander @BenVerlander]

Astros GM Dana Brown this morning on the radio:

“Getting Wesneski back is sort of like adding a pitcher at the trade deadline”

I am begging GMs of MLB teams to understand NOBODY wants to hear this

[StatMuse @statmuse]

Astros are 11-1 in their last 12 games.

They are 1st in the AL West.

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

The Houston Astros, who were swept by the Orioles coming out of the All Star break, have since gone 11-1 after sweeping the Texas Rangers
They suddenly have a 2 1/2 game lead in the AL West.

BREAKING: LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option, Klutch Sports Group and Klutch CEO and Game Over show host Rich Paul tells ESPN.

[Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS]

Houston has FVV and controls Dallas’ 2029 first-round pick. I continue to believe there’s a deal there if LeBron wants to play with Kyrie and KD. The Rockets are young enough and asset-rich enough to make that push for this season without it devastating their future.

For those who do not know, Chip Engelland is known as THE “Shot Doctor” in the NBA world.

He is widely credited for fixing the shot mechanics of Kawhi Leonard, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobli.

Lu Dort shot 40% under Chip.

Houston, this is a REALLY good hire.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

The Houston Rockets are hiring Chip Engelland as a new assistant coach on Ime Udoka's staff, sources tell ESPN. Engelland -- well-regarded in player development and shooting speciality -- spent the last four seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder after a 17-year run in San Antonio (2005-2022) where he built a relationship with Udoka.

Here is a Q&A with Lance McCullers Jr, who said he “didn’t want to ever wear another team’s uniform," but went into detail about why he will, including conversations with Astros owner Jim Crane. Open for all to read -https://t.co/icrNDsOnFg

[Houston Astros @astros]

One more time for #43.

Thank you, Lance, for all the incredible memories. Wishing you all the best in Milwaukee.

With Justin Verlander announcing his retirement, his Hall of Fame case is officially on the docket.

BK digs in on his numbers relative to his era and current Hall of Famers.

[Just Baseball @JustBB_Media]

Justin Verlander’s 2022 CY campaign at 39 years old:

175.0 IP | 1.75 ERA | 185 K’s | 0.83 WHIP

One of the best seasons EVER from a player at that age 💪

[Chris Castellani @Castellani2014]

In a single season, this is the greatest pitching staff of all time.

You had two Cy Young caliber starters and a bullpen that didn’t give up runs.

[Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane]

New for @CrawfishBoxes: With just a five-man bullpen at his disposal on Monday, Joe Espada needed a good start or a lengthy start from Mike Burrow's against one of baseball's best lineups. He got neither, and the time has come to send Burrows down: https://t.co/d6I4FnQxQP

The Houston Astros plan to enter the Tarik Skubal and Sonny Gray sweepstakes this trade deadline, per @BNightengale

Houston also has strong interest in Mickey Moniak and Jake McCarthy to help bolster their outfield.

[Underdog MLB @UnderdogMLB]

• Astros showing “strong interest” in Mickey Moniak, Jake McCarthy
• Astros plan to be in on sweepstakes for Tarik Skubal, Sonny Gray
• Mariners not expected to be “ultra-aggressive” at trade deadline
