How good is he?

Apparently he is over the Plantar fasciitis……really nothing the Astros medical staff won’t okay.

Speaking of the Kikuchi trade, the Padres just acquired Will Wagner.

Who Sanchez?

Yes

Brice Matthews is your opening day starter at 2B next year. Do not trade him under any circumstance.

Utility player, if I’m not mistaken.

Depends. Some GM could make Dana an offer, he can’t refuse.

He’s been very middling……maybe slightly above average….i think he could be good if he ever got 600Ab’s….hes shown flashes, the talent is there.

Put him side by side with Cam and you have some big athletic dudes.

Sanchez is a starting OFer

He did miss a recent start due to “dizziness”, but maybe that was brought on by the idea of coming back to the Astros.

Yes, I think that was moreso because they were in the middle of trade talks for him.

Is this the lineup tomorrow (in some similar order)?

Pena SS
Sanchez LF
Altuve DH
Walker 1B
Correa 3B
Smith RF
Diaz C
Urias 2B
Melton CF

Merrill Kelly heading to Arlington.

The Rangers already have a stout rotation. I don’t like them getting Kelly.

That’s if Melton isn’t traded to the Padres or Marlins within the next hour.

Matthews was not in any deal so far….

Will this be Correa’s first time playing 3B at the major league level? I know he played 3B in the World Baseball Classic.

I love trade deadline day……but I equally hate looking at Jeff Passan’s face.

Trade deadline day used to mean the Astros were getting rid of guys like Hunter Pence. I like these days better.
