This is a pretty clear indication that the 26th roster spot will go to Stubbs as a 3rd catcher. The problem is that we don’t have a starter as of right now  

 

I’m a patient man and trust the Astros brass.  They need to re-sign Chirinos in a big way.

  • Here's the thing that makes me absolutely livid about this... Cheating happens all the time in baseball. At all levels. All levels. The MLB itself cheats the game by juicing the ball. Players juiced t

    It's not the end, I agree. The Astros are still sacks of giant shit, though.  Shame on them.

    Very sad to see that the Astros are basically dipshit cheaters from the top down. Hey, at least the Black Sox are happy that someone else is wearing their crown of infamy.

How did we not win a single game at home in the WS... IN FOUR TRIES!

This has hurt me more than it should this entire time.  It was and still is, a dagger.  I’m still trying to shake it.

Believing anything that any GM, owner or Manager says in December is not very smart

I think teams will carry a AAA starter as 26th man to eat garbage innings and reduce the embarrassing position players pitching epidemic.  

I mean it could turn out to happen, but i just wouldn't take anything being said as gospel at this point.

Why would Hinch lie about giving Stubbs infield reps?  That’s taking cynicism to a stupid level.

Because Hinch can't predict the future. Maybe Stubbs is traded along with other people in a deal for Contreras. Who the hell knows at this point.

Ask your source what the fuck is going on please.

No shit.  Da fuq is going on?

You and me both...waiting for more updates. My guy thinks it may be due to correas honeymoon. He will have to take a physical And can’t if he’s out of the country. Could also be waiting to line up third base (and catcher) before announcing. No reason to think it won’t happen still, I’ll let y’all know if something changes

GM Jeff Luhnow tells Carlos Correa to enjoy honeymoon, reassures 'he's an Astro'

I’m checking y’all, don’t want to piss him off haha I’m more desperate for answers than y’all at this point. He will tell me when it’s about to happen and if something else happens. I still think it’s happening 

Just tell him to give you luhnows # and move the fuck out of the way lol

Also luis castillo needs to go pay his parking tickets and lets roll

Would be funny to have a GM that uses social media like Trump, blasting opponents publicly and dropping the dirt in a SSS forum. 

Time kills deals


There is no way a honeymoon is delaying a deal from getting done.
I suppose it may preventing it from being announced—but this would be about the first time this FO cared about optics or being sensitive to someone’s personal life/schedule.

I am under the interpretation is has more to do with whatever legal shit with Castillo than anything with Correa

Oh for sure
My post was more in response to anyone that actually thinks Correa being on a honeymoon is preventing a trade

This isn’t fantasy football. This could be a 5-7 player deal where all need to take physicals and all need to be informed in the right way. As well as possible extensions etc. it just takes time, to quell y’all nerves here’s the last from my source

It wouldn’t prevent it being agreed to (it already is) it would only prevent it from being announced and complete which we are waiting on. They just got back from winter meetings and it’s 3 months before they report. They are going to take their time as frustrating as it is

So its not like mlb the show trades where it happens instantly.

So...@RGBIII 

Has your guy indicated anything regarding the Astros’ punishment? Because I heard some info that allegedly started at a good source within the Astros that is not good. Would love to hear what your guy says might be on the table.

Not a word unfortunately. Honestly I don’t care what the punishment is as long as they don’t vacate the World Series win (the absolute nuclear option). But my guy has nothing, that will be more from Mlb itself. Random guess, loss of some big picks, some fines and an AJ Hinch suspension

But AJ said they didn't practice whistling during spring training

Rumor I heard that allegedly started with an inside source is that MLB is considering a TEN year ban for Luhnow. And Hinch would get a year.  

Ten year ban would be absolutely nuts - I’d be shocked. But Luhnow and Hinch are gonna get some real time away, that I am confident about. 

Yeah, I call bullshit on that

What’s the point of 10 years? Might as well be permanent.  There’s no parole.

If that was the case Mlb would have had to find that Luhnow mandated the whistling. I think the tough thing for mlb to pin down is what players were willing participants or if they were unwilling but mandated to do so

Let’s remember the Cardinals Director of Scouting was sent to Federal prison for 4 years after his conviction for cyber crimes against the Astros. The Cardinals lost 2 draft picks and 2 million dollars. The Astros probably ain’t getting punished much worse.

MLB can't make the punishment too harsh or there will be a lawsuit

This same source (admittedly 4 or 5 people down the line of a game of telephone) says there might be emails from Luhnow directing the practice. I am extremely skeptical - being a lawyer, I can’t imagine Luhnow would be that stupid. 

FWIW, this guy says MLB has the Red Sox and Yankees nailed on the same thing. I have no personal connections to the guy relaying the information - it all came to a good friend of mine who doesn’t have anything to do with the info - so I don’t believe any of this to be accurate. Just passing along H-town scuttlebutt.

I mean he was the guy who didn’t change his password. Sometimes the smartest people do the dumbest shit

If Boston and NY are nailed then it's going to be a slap on the wrist. Can't upset the delicate flowers.

If Hinch gets a year, Crane should fire him and find another manager.

So, if true, do we expect the Red Sox and Yankees to face repercussions as well?  Or are they going to get the Bama treatment while the Stros get the SMU treatment?

I've got no problem with a tough sentence for the Astros as long as it is proportional to whatever the Yanks, Red Sox, and Cubs get.  But make the Astros the scapegoat, no bueno.

So is your source as plugged in as Portapotty Girl and the new Gloryhole Guy?

Ten years and Luhnow will sue the fuck out of them.  His damages to lost wages during the 10 years and prospectively would be very, very high.

There’s a greater chance of me banging Kate Upton than Luhnow getting suspended for 10 years

this is not good 

I mean isn’t that old news, that’s nothing different than what fiers was saying right? I think it being mandated by Luhnow or upper management via email would be the bigger deal
