Astros seeking left-handed hitter
Astros GM Dana Brown:
In terms of additions, Brown mentioned looking for a left-handed hitter to offset the righty-laden lineup.
“If that opportunity presents itself and we can make some sort of trade to do that, it would be intriguing for us to make the team better.”
-Noot?
(Strong candidate if stros' think he'd be ready late April/early May)?
-Gorman?
(Not sure C. Bloom will deal him given the lack of power bats on the team but likely if the offer is good)
-Burleson?
(Not likely unless they'd bowel Bloom over w/their offer)

Come on guys, that was Mo not Bloom. Doubt Brown found anything on Mo when he did the reach around.
Rock I'd think the Astros were a little overloaded with infielder guys Walker, Altuve (failed in LF), Pena, Paredes, Correa.... so I don't see why they would want Gorman. Maybe Noot for LF, or either Donovan or Burly.

Re: Astros seeking left-handed hitter
They are shopping walker and paredes ….
Stros would take nootbarr for Walker……..actually they would take just about any warm body to move that contract
Going to take a lot more to get Paredes…

They want a hitter so Gorman is out.
If they want immediate impact Noot is too risky due to injuries.
Based on last year Burley is worth keeping plus we need a first baseman.

Re: Astros seeking left-handed hitter
Burly is serviceable, affordable, and is a position of need for the Cardinals. Gotta hold on to him.

Re: Astros seeking left-handed hitter
If you like his skillset, or his price-point, I have no qualms with that, but it wouldn't be that hard to find another serviceable first baseman.RamFan08NY wrote: ↑26 Jan 2026 09:09 am Burly is serviceable, affordable, and is a position of need for the Cardinals. Gotta hold on to him.
