MVP. Revolutionized the game forever by making the step back a weapon every perimeter scorer has to have in their bag. An absurd manufacturer of buckets in his prime via scoring and passing who would regularly put up ridiculous numbers like 38-8-17
And there’s never been an all time great who so regularly and routinely stunk it up in the playoffs.
Josh Hader has a no trade clause, and I honestly still think Houston can compete in 2027 and 28, the last two years of his contract. I would NOT move him, even if he was open to it.
Not to mention, San Diego's farm is one of if not the worst in baseball.

Jason Alexander against the Twins: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 80 pitches, 50 strikes, 36 swings, 9 whiffs, 87.4 mph average exit velocity. This is like discovering plutonium by accident!
@michaelschwab13 Blowing things out of proportion - dude was hurt last year and frankly wasn’t good. Sending him to triple A was the smart thing to do considering they had no idea the starting rotation was going to be hurt/suck.
Former Astros Manager Dusty Baker spoke on Jose Altuve and the Astros cheating scandal, via the @allthesmokeprod
“You know the guy who took the brunt of it was really Jose Altuve, and he was really the most innocent dude there. That really affected me, how he was treated and he didn’t deserve it.”
The Astros won 4-3. They are 17-27
Lance McCullers Jr. struck out his 900th career batter. Jose Altuve drove in his 900th career run. Zach Cole walked it off with a single in the 10th.
