Houston's farm system is awful- I mean desolate- like, Los Angeles Angels bad.

Laugh all you want, but our best assets at the trade deadline are Hensly, Miko-loss, and Fedde. Yes, Fedde. Most teams overpay for starting pitching. Some teams stupidly overpay for starting pitching at the trade deadline. We can move him.

The Rangers could use a LF, RF, or a 1B. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Mariners badly need offense and could use a RF or a 1B. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Red Sox need a 1B. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Giants need a 1B. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Royals are desperate for offense from any OF position. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Twins need a corner OF or a 1B. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Guardians need offense and a RF. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Blue Jays could use a LF. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Padres are in tears looking for a LF with an OPS over .600. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Phillies offensive production from LF has been awful. They've got Burleson written all over them. And last, but not least, even the mighty Dodgers are getting terrible production from Michael Conforto in LF. Yes, the Dodgers have Burleson written all over them. We don't need to take the dregs of the Houston farm system. There is a match for Burleson. When you get him moved, move Noot to one of the others needing OF help.

Burleson may be our best hitter currently not named Donovan but he really is a jag --- no position and while his offense is decent it really isn't for the 2 positions he can truly play -- dh and 1b. His value is as high as it will likely ever be so they really need to strike while they can there. Fedde is a competent/decent pitcher who you will have to pay a prorated portion of 6 million for the rest of the season. I would think there is a line of teams who would want those two.

They can at least attempt to move Helsley. They won't re-sign him and should get a decent return. And they should look to deal one of Nootbaar/Burleson/Gorman.

Mo saying he doesn't want to impact the future roster tells me Bloom is not getting equal say. He could easily ask Chaim which players can be dealt. Or it's just Mo using a new excuse to do nothing. He's had several over the last 17 years.

unless you have burleson as part of a core you think may win in a couple of years, he currently has the most value.

He’s LH and they have to get a RH power bat for RF. So what’s your plan for him to get ABs next year with Donovan in LF and Wetherholt at 2B. Is seems like 2-3 of Nootbar Donovan Burleson Walker and Gorman have to go

Why does the bat have to be RH? Right now the top 2 power bats on the team are RH, Herrera and Contreras. Really they need a LH hitter to hit 4th in the lineup. Sandwich him with Herrera and Contreras. Then Burly can bat 6th and be pretty good there. And you can put Wetherholt 2nd when he’s ready.

Moving any pending FA has zero effect on the future roster. Maton Helsley Fedde and Mikolas all need to go. I think Helsely accepts a QO for over $20m and the. We end up with the same team next season

Worst stats vs LHP in the MLB is why. Too many LH bats. Horrible roster construction. Too LH heavy. Look up the stats and you will see why.

thats why you trade burleson now unless you believe he is part of the future --- other than Donovan he has the most value of any of those guys right now. you trade guys when other teams want them and will pay.

Well that is what happens when your one of your best RH bats is on the IL for half the season. And the manager refuses to platoon players who should be platooned. When healthy this team needs a true MOTB that is LH more IMO than RH. They don’t really have a true LH hitter that can hit in the middle of the order.

The Rangers could use a LF, RF, or a 1B. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Mariners badly need offense and could use a RF or a 1B. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Red Sox need a 1B. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Giants need a 1B. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Royals are desperate for offense from any OF position. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Twins need a corner OF or a 1B. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Guardians need offense and a RF. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Blue Jays could use a LF. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Padres are in tears looking for a LF with an OPS over .600. They've got Burleson written all over them. The Phillies offensive production from LF has been awful. They've got Burleson written all over them. And last, but not least, even the mighty Dodgers are getting terrible production from Michael Conforto in LF. Yes, the Dodgers have Burleson written all over them. We don't need to take the dregs of the Houston farm system. There is a match for Burleson. When you get him moved, move Noot to one of the others needing OF help.
Burleson may be our best hitter currently not named Donovan but he really is a jag --- no position and while his offense is decent it really isn't for the 2 positions he can truly play -- dh and 1b. His value is as high as it will likely ever be so they really need to strike while they can there. Fedde is a competent/decent pitcher who you will have to pay a prorated portion of 6 million for the rest of the season. I would think there is a line of teams who would want those two.
He’s LH and they have to get a RH power bat for RF. So what’s your plan for him to get ABs next year with Donovan in LF and Wetherholt at 2B. Is seems like 2-3 of Nootbar Donovan Burleson Walker and Gorman have to go
thats why you trade burleson now unless you believe he is part of the future --- other than Donovan he has the most value of any of those guys right now. you trade guys when other teams want them and will pay.
Small markets may be willing to take Gorman and Walker for a SP because of cost control
I could see a Jordan Walker for Taj Bradley kind of trade with TB. I’m not sure I’m ready to give up Walker yet, but that might be an interesting change of scenery deal for both sides.

Houston's farm system is awful- I mean desolate- like, Los Angeles Angels bad.

Why does the bat have to be RH? Right now the top 2 power bats on the team are RH, Herrera and Contreras. Really they need a LH hitter to hit 4th in the lineup. Sandwich him with Herrera and Contreras. Then Burly can bat 6th and be pretty good there. And you can put Wetherholt 2nd when he’s ready.
Worst stats vs LHP in the MLB is why. Too many LH bats. Horrible roster construction
Well that is what happens when your one of your best RH bats is on the IL for half the season. And the manager refuses to platoon players who should be platooned. When healthy this team needs a true MOTB that is LH more IMO than RH. They don’t really have a true LH hitter that can hit in the middle of the order.
No matter what they need a RH OF bat. Your entire of cannot be LH. Hererra is injured a lot.
Part of why I’m hoping Baez is the real deal. And also why I hope they have Herrera train in the OF over the offseason. Btw, he’s been on the IL 3 times in his entire professional career, twice this year.
