Perfect fit as trade partners. Sand Diego has everything Houston could ever want.
Cam
Except a decent farm, a winning record, and a strong business model.

Unless the Padres get Hader and Fisher or Moran in a deal for Ross id just wait till the off season to trade him. Or next years deadline if they’re out of it again. As a Padres fan I hope they’re in it, but we shall see.

No more like/dislike/reply options huh? Or is my phone just being weird?

Seems like we are back to the older system. The one before the last update.
Matt Galvin
Hopefully tonight and a Blockbuster.

Perfect partner for the Padres. Astros have a very good farm.
Is there any chance Phillips goes to the Padres if it’s Ross in the deal? Or a Ross/Kimbrel deal?
Bob Smiley
Philips is the best hitting prospect in the Astros system. i would imagine they move Aj Reed or Fisher over him. but..who knows. depends just how close the Astros are to get Hamels and if they would have to give up Phillips in that deal. – Astros move Vincent V. and a bats to SD maybe.

Doubtful Martin. Velasquez is probably on the table, along with Moran, Hader, Reed.

No reply button on my phone. I don’t care about voting but if we can’t reply what’s the point?
Martin H.
Yea same. No reply button on MOBILE, but it does let you reply on a computer

I wonder if the Astros pull a Padres and send a PTBNL (Bregman) plus to SD for Ross/kimbrel. SD seems really set on finding a SS. Houston will almost certainly need to include a top 3 prospect to get Ross. Unlikely but then again who would have predicted Tulo to Toronto.
Math&Baseball
I’d definitely be ok with a Upton/Ross/Kimbrel deal for Bregman, Hader, Reed, Moran, Fisher, Wojciechowski, and 1 of Appel or Velaquez.
Upton helps them now make a push for the playoffs while Kimbrel and Ross help in the next couple of years. I’d even be ok with SD sending cash to help reduce Kimbrel’s price tag to get those guys.
Stonehands
This could get interesting. SD has the pieces that Houston is missing, and the Astros are stacked with immense depth in the farm. The Stros could theoretically get 1 of Cashner/Ross AND Kimbrel for a hefty prospect package, and that still would leave the Astros with 1 of the deepest systems in the game. You have to think talks start with Appel/Velasquez and a couple bats from the 5-15 range. Maybe Velasquez, Reed, Fisher, and Davis?

I hope the Padres get at least Phillips/reed and kemp or Moran back if they trade Ross/kimbrel

Phillips should be untouchable. I love reed but if he helps nets up Ross/Kimbrel then he can go.
astros1772
Reed is the first baseman the Astros have been looking for since Bagwell. Just can’t see them even thinking about losing the big bopper.
YourDaddy
Root Sports Southwest is saying that Astros and Padres are close to a trade for Cashner and a reliever for Villar, Santana, JD Davis and Guduan(whoever he is).
htxstunna713
yes get Villar off this squad!!
Grey Suit
As a Padre fan I would love that trade.
Matt Galvin
Kimbrel or Benoit and maybe this Morning.
jpfreezer

Ross, Kimbrel, and Upton to the Astros
Bregman, Kemp, Appel, Santana, Wojciechowski, and Hernandez to the Padres
tonights the night!
