December 19, 20187 yr Brantley is officially an Astro now so start buying your Kyle Tucker Marlins jerseys. If you purchase from Lids this week you should be able to get it by the All Star game when Tucker is starting in Cleveland.

I believe anybody could order the "customized" jersey with the name of "TUCKER" at any time, no matter this team have Kyle Tucker or not.

December 19, 20187 yr See ya in 2026 Just an FYI, other people missed your sarcasm. Your likes on this post are from those who agree with your joke and thought you were thinking like them.
December 20, 20187 yr JT to Houston before 2019? Yeah definitely, I mean he's been in the majors since 2014 so with Interleague Play of course he's been to Houston before.

December 20, 20187 yr A bidding war between Houston and Atlanta is the best case scenario. A package of Tucker, James/Bukausks, & a guy like Cristian Javier or Ronnie Dawson would be ideal James is likely in their rotation right now and already got to the bigs, so I find that unlikely. Bukauskas is a smaller framed starter who the Marlins (Hill) have historically not been interested in. I don't think he's the guy. I think they'd want Martin as the second piece, and some collection of Nova, Perez/Valdez (i.e., a lefty reliever. I know they are smaller, but figure they'd be OK if they got a bigger framed started like Martin and this is a 3rd/4th piece), Stassi/Stubbs (backup C), etc. I'd kick in Conley and ask for Tucker, Martin, Nova, Valdez, and Stassi, and agree to take on Reddick's salary if they want to dump him and use that money to sign Cruz or a SP.
December 20, 20187 yr Maybe Conley or giving up someone else along with JT would allow us to get a 2nd piece like Martin, James or J.B. but if this is J.T. for players, I don't see a 2nd piece of that caliber coming along with Tucker. Funny enough Nova originally signed with the Marlins before being busted for PED's and then being released only to be picked up the following year by the Astros for 1.2M... So I think it's clear the Marlins scouted him and like him. I could see something along the lines of Tucker, Nova, Stubbs and a random arm like Bielak or Schroeder getting this done. If the Astros at any point had been accepting of the idea of trading Tucker plus a quality arm like Martin or James plus some farm fodder, this deal would've already been done.

The only way James is in their rotation is if they plan on keeping Whitley in AAA for a significant amount of time. That or cutting bait with McHugh I guess. Im good with Martin & Nova as add ons

Im good with Martin & Nova as add ons They are incentivized financially to keep Whitley in the minors past the Super2 deadline. Also, Astros lost a reliever for a large chunk of the season today. They are a great spot to move a well above average arm like Steckenrider or bullpen-Conley

If the Astros at any point had been accepting of the idea of trading Tucker plus a quality arm like Martin or James plus some farm fodder, this deal would've already been done. I agree. That's why they need to cash in Steckenrider or Conley to them (or take on Reddick's contract). They need some icing on the cake to include Martin as player # 2. Tucker, Nova, Stassi/Stubbs, and some other outside top 15-20 prospect definitely works 4-1 for Realmuto too, but I feel there is an opportunity to give the contending club a bullpen piece they want/need.
December 20, 20187 yr Mish says the Astros aren't offering Tucker and he still thinks the Braves are in the lead.
December 21, 20187 yr Mish says the Astros aren't offering Tucker and he still thinks the Braves are in the lead. Who to believe, have Tucker or no Tucker ?
December 21, 20187 yr If no Tucker then I want the Braves. Value is value. The other teams could likely beat the Astros with 1 better prospect involved if Tucker/Whitley are off the table, but something like Alvarez, Martin, Nova, and Stassi/Stubbs easily gets you to around $65 million in surplus value. That's around where it should be. A lot of permutations from there, with the Marlins being able to throw in Steckenrider, Conley, and/or Straily, all useful to Houston, and/or absorbing Reddicks $26 million (they dont need with Tucker/Springer/Brantley/Kemp/Straw), and/or Houston throwing in more guys not in their top 10 prospects, who are still quality farm pieces to develop, and raise the value for the Marlins. I still like them, but we'll see. If we're assuming some sort of deal, it would be nice for the Marlins to get their longterm 1B, a longterm 3/4 SP, the best SS in their system, a longterm backup catcher, let's say a longterm lefty reliever, and be able to use Reddick until you flip him at the deadline. That fits nicely into a longterm depth chart.
December 21, 20187 yr Who to believe, have Tucker or no Tucker ? Can never know who to believe and even then things can always change but with that said Mish has been more than reliable more often than not.
