@michaelschwab13 My choice would be Sig Mejdal. He helped build the Astros’ analytics-driven system under Luhnow and later helped rebuild Baltimore. Give him full authority as President of Baseball Operations and let him modernize the organization again.
@Astros_Coverage Separarse de Dana Brown puede estar justificado, pero devolverle las operaciones de béisbol a Jim Crane y Jeff Bagwell parece repetir el mismo error. Los Astros necesitan un GM, enfocado en analytics y con verdadera autoridad; no otra gerencia manejada por un comité.
@michaelschwab13 Moving on from Dana Brown may be justified, but handing baseball operations back to Jim Crane and Jeff Bagwell feels like repeating the same mistake. The Astros need a modern, analytics-driven president with real authority—not another front office run by committee.

@HtownWheelhouse@astros So much for the narrative that the Astros’ offense is the problem. The talent and power are clearly there—they just need more consistency when it matters most.
@Astros_Coverage Houston should win two of three, but it won’t be easy. Seattle has dominated the season series 7-1. Saturday is the key game, while Brown gives the Astros a slight edge Sunday. Winning the series is a must.
@brian_t97 Calling this “dumpster diving” is a bit much. It’s a low-risk waiver claim on a guy with power upside. If it works, great. If not, move on. The real question is whether Whitcomb was worth giving up.
@michaelschwab13 I’d set a $150M salary floor and a $280M payroll ceiling with harsher penalties for repeat luxury-tax offenders. Revenue-sharing money must be spent on the MLB roster, not ownership profits. Pay young stars sooner, stop service-time manipulation, and leave trades alone.
@michaelschwab13 At the right price, absolutely. If he clears waivers and only costs the league minimum, it’s a low-risk move. The Astros could definitely use another left-handed bat in left field.
@michaelschwab13 I don’t see it that way. To me, it was more about Jim Crane protecting the organization’s future than not trusting Dana Brown. If they truly believed this team was one big move away, they would’ve spent the prospects.
@HtownWheelhouse@astros I think Dana Brown made the right call. Before trading top prospects, you have to be honest about your World Series chances. If you’re not one player away, don’t sacrifice the future. He improved the team without emptying the farm.
@Astros_Coverage@TheAthletic En mi opinión si es un cambio uno a uno no conviene, ojala sea Varsho mas otro jugador de Toronto, estaría mas equilibrado
@Astros_Coverage It’s hard to argue with the value. Paredes has delivered outstanding production at a fraction of the cost. That’s exactly the kind of efficiency every front office hopes to find.
@AlexxRM82 Evaluar a un futbolista únicamente por una mala temporada suele ser una visión demasiado limitada. En el caso de Federico Valverde, muchos aficionados consideran que su rendimiento acumulado durante varias temporadas pesa más que un bajón puntual, no lo comparto
@Astros_Coverage@Chandler_Rome Me gusta la oportunidad para Ullola. Teng tiene opciones y era el movimiento lógico para abrirle espacio. Dicho esto, sigo pensando que cuando llegue el momento de activar a Cristian Javier, el candidato más probable para salir es Enyel De Los Santos. Veamos que hace Dana Brown
@Astros_Coverage La verdad es que Imai salió muy cómodo en el primer inning, pero después de 38 lanzamientos se vino completamente abajo. El comando no está en su mejor momento y cuando empieza a perder la zona de strike, los problemas se acumulan rápido
