Lots of speculation linking Bellinger to the Astros. Seems like it makes perfect sense with Alvarez out, can play GG level defense in CF and 1B. Adds another lefty bat to a lineup fill of righties. With him being a FA after the season it might not take a lot. Like Meyers and a 40 FV prospect.

The speculation started to pique after Brown basically said we need a Cody Bellinger type player on this team a few days ago.

Houston is not trading Jake Meyers for Cody Bellinger.  Meyers has been Houston’s 3rd most valuable position player so far this season and projects to be a 2-3 win player every year.  He’s under team control through 2027.  You don’t trade 4.5 seasons of a 2-3 player for 0.5 seasons of a…2-3 win player.

There are few players I hate more than that bitch Cody Bellinger

Yep...i would rather not win than have Bellinger win a WS with Houston. Fuck that.

It's a crazy statement but it's true. 

We've won two WS already, we don't need a third with that fucking asshat coattailing us. Until he publicly apologizes for slandering Altuve the way he did, he can fuck alll the way off forever.

The culture could probably deal with it.  Even Jeff Kent kept his asshattery to a minimum with Biggio and Bagwell in the clubhouse.

This is such horseshit. No one knows what type of clubhouse fit Bellinger would be. There are 2 players left from the 2017 team, and Bellinger cheated too.

I just laugh at turning down a former MVP having a nice comeback season, because we have a bunch of shitty AAAA players on a team that is supposed be contending for the WS.

More importantly let's not trade for a guy that was on pace for over a 6 WAR season for 2.5 WAR Jake Meyers. There is not a GM in the game that if they were offered Bellinger for Jake Meyers wouldn't pull that trigger immediately.

we have enough injured players …

Bellinger played first base for Iowa, which Cubs manager David Ross said (to the Chicago Sun-Times’ Maddie Lee and other reporters) was partially due to Bellinger still having some difficulty fully extending his knee during all-out sprinting.
