May 28, 20197 yr [MEDIA=twitter]1133013583430868992[/MEDIA] very early days on this. Teams inquire about a lot of players all the time. Interesting bit of tweeting though from Mish
May 28, 20197 yr Author He’s 27. He’s on $3.2 million of wages now and has two years of arbitration in front of him. I feel like his quality isn’t high enough for our front office to get some obvious great prospects. He’s also been a nice player for us. I could really go either way on this one. I lean toward keeping him because I don’t think our brain trust has the stuff to get something of value in return for a guy like Urena. Going to arbitration with him doesn’t feel all that risky to the wage structure

May 28, 20197 yr AHHHHHH I have posted this like a bunch of times on here!!!! Trade him to Daimondbacks for Kevin Cron, and Geraldo Perdomo, and Domingo Leyba.
May 28, 20197 yr Hey guys, I think we should Trade him to Daimondbacks for Kevin Cron, and Geraldo Perdomo, and Domingo Leyba. I am surprised nobody has brought this idea up before.

May 28, 20197 yr I’m pretty firmly on the side of dealing Urena. I’m not sold on Urena being more than a 4-5 in a good rotation. He doesn’t have anything to get lefties out, and his slider hasn’t progressed at all. I honestly think he’d be better off in the bullpen, but that’s a conversation for another day. By mid-season 2020, I have a hard time believing Urena will be one of the top 5 pitchers on the 40 man. Find a way to get value for him now. Maybe pair Walker with him and trade them to Boston for a package of Flores/Chatham & Ockimey
May 28, 20197 yr Urena needs to be traded RIGHT NOW. I know there's the thought that his value could increase closer to the deadline as teams get more desperate, but the thing about Urena is: he's bad. He's on a hot streak right now, but he won't stay on that hot streak until July 31. If that ERA sneaks up toward the 5.00 that his true talent predicts, teams will give up way less than they will now, thinking the 2.80 in the last 7 is actually legitimate.

Maybe pair Walker with him and trade them to Boston for a package of Flores/Chatham & Ockimey Yeah, I think he just is what he is at this point (watch him be like several other guys that have left here and become great). Urena needs to be traded RIGHT NOW. I know there's the thought that his value could increase closer to the deadline as teams get more desperate, but the thing about Urena is: he's bad. He's on a hot streak right now, but he won't stay on that hot streak until July 31. If that ERA sneaks up toward the 5.00 that his true talent predicts, teams will give up way less than they will now, thinking the 2.80 in the last 7 is actually legitimate. This. Trade him while he's on a hot streak and before he blows up, unlike what we did with Barraclough last year.
May 28, 20197 yr Urena needs to be traded RIGHT NOW. I dunno, I mean it should be sooner than later but it doesn't have to be right now does it? Like what happens if they wait a few more minutes or so?
May 28, 20197 yr Can't wait until it is called a firesale when he is traded. I would call it a firesale after we trade all the veterans …
May 28, 20197 yr I dunno, I mean it should be sooner than later but it doesn't have to be right now does it? Like what happens if they wait a few more minutes or so? Then his value decreases. It decreased since I wrote that. And now more. And more. More now. JUST TRADE HIM ALREADY HIS VALUE IS PLUMMETING
May 28, 20197 yr Why? Is he an Astros fan? He never mentions it if so. a picture is worth a thousand words - which is why he just uses their logo as his avatar since he takes too long to read messages anyway
