Make up a list with an obvious omission, and then you get people talking about you. Just ignore it next time

That's the premise of how to get the right answer on the internet. Intentionally provide the wrong answer and you'll have hundreds of people correcting you.

Astros making a "strong push" for Josh Hader.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I don’t think there is enough left to make any one team better than the Braves personally. I guess if the Dodger$ decide to spend 2 billion they might.

Well, the last billion was on a DH hitter coming off a TJ and a rookie pitcher whose never had to get outs against MLB hitters.

To hell with LA.

Per Heyman, it's the Angels or Red Sox for Duvall unless someone else makes abig push.

A bit suprising (only a bit). I'm not a Duvall guy by any stretch, but he seems to have been productive enough to warrant a little more attention.

Kinda always been the case?

Can play some defense too, so its not like hes a bat only stiff.

Really good defender. Fast. Especially for a guy his size.

Deceptive speed. Kind of like me. I am a lot slower than I look

He's right on that border of low end regular and high end bench piece. He probably values everyday playing time over being on a good team, and he's not good enough to be a regular on a contender.

There's a 99.9% chance he is traded to a contender at the deadline.

Assuming he's healthy. He's missed a good chunk of time each of the last 2 seasons due to a wrist injury. Another reason his market is so weak.

At least it isn't the Dodgers.

 

[Hudson2]

Man the Astors have some decisions to make bc Bregman and Altuve are both done after this year and Tucker after next year.

 

[Hudson2]

At least it isn't the Dodgers.

Or Phillies

 

[Tapate50]

Hader to stros 5 years $95m

Seems like a poor use of money while your stars depart

 

[Hulavol]

My guess is the thinking is try to win one more and then trade Hader off once they begin to re-tool ?

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I don’t know about the hader thing, eventually all that meth is gonna catch up with him so he may not be worth anything in a couple years

Full NTC complicates that.
