So no cease, correct?
No it never made sense to me, the Padres are in the hunt and buyers not sellers.

Watching mlb channel today and Harold Reynolds has given some of the worst baseball takes I've ever heard

But, outside of that, I also heard Cease made it clear to the Padres he did not want to come to the Astros specifically. Sounds like he’s very soft. This is true

I obviously don't trust Bonda but if true how tremendously stupid as a pitcher to not want to go to Houston.
I guess some are still scared of the scandal, which is ridiculous, but my God, go to the Astros, get incredible insight from M&M, increase your value ten fold, maybe even get a ring, and then you're on the free market and can call your shot. Dumb if even remotely true.
Dude's a pu**y if that's true. Prob a big Astros hater as well considering he grew up a Braves fan.
If Yordan and Jake come back and two of Arrighetti/CJ/Garcia/France come back healthy and pitch as expected - A
The remaining hole at 3B is plugged, we get a good split RF for Cam and a utility hitter better than any AAA/street FA we have.
If Yordan and Jake don't come back, B-
If none of the pitchers come back, B-
If none of the players out come back, nothing really got fixed. D

Thank yall for the replies. How did our division rivals in the Mariners and Rangers do as well as the Blur Jays. Really need to find a way to get the 2 seed and avoid the WC round. Thank yall!
Brewers get Shelby Miller and Jordan Montgomery from the Diamondbacks, per source.

The dbacks made the Brewers take on an expiring contract for a guy recovering from TJ
Curious how the payroll is looking for next year after taking on CC's contract. Guessing Caratini may not be an option now.
Do we have any relief-type arms in the minors who may get called up this year?
Glad they maneuvered skillfully against their prospect capital budget and didn't make a desperation overpay.
Wondering if they feel better about Javier than we realize. We also have to remember the Rags lucky chuckle****ed their way to a ring with Eovaldi and Montgomery's fat ass as their only useful starting pitchers, so maybe the dice roll on Arrighetti or Javier is worth holding on to Matthews or whomever.

Twins paid down $30M or so of the $100 remaining
Astros GM Dana Brown said Jesús Sánchez will play "a bunch of left and every now and then in right, when (Cam) Smith needs a break."

Maybe Luis can contribute in the pen this year since that's where he is projected long-term from what I've read here in the past.
I would imagine LuAce, France, and Dubin are your potential bullpen additions.
Dana Brown said the Astros felt the “asking prices were too high” on pitching and are confident in the pitching they expect to return from the IL.
— Matt Kawahara (@matthewkawahara) July 31, 2025
OK...McTaggert was thankfully wrong. That makes a lot more sense.

That's better.

I'm surprised Ozuna wasn't moved by the Braves.
Heading into this deadline all the major issues this thread had have been addressed.
Add Pena and Arrighetti's impending returns and this team was revamped at the deadline.
Now we wait on Yordan and Jake to return.

Yea there's no way that is right.
Certain Astros fans the first time Carlos Correa strikes out:
Rangers vs Mariners 4 game series tonight.
I'm assuming we want them to split it 2-2?

Replaced Paredes, getting rid of Hummel and Short regardless, that's higher than a D
Jeremy Pena will be back with the Astros tomorrow night in Boston, per GM Dana Brown.

some speculationI guess the money from the Twins is front loaded? Guess Crane is intent to avoid going over two years in a row after all. 2027 could get funky. https://t.co/ziF5w3Dixl
