[Heyman] Astros relief star Ryan Pressly, pursued seriously by 3 teams, has full no-trade and told the Astros he’s disinclined to go East or West. So that’s a “no” for Jays, 1 of the teams. He hasn’t committed either way yet on Cubs, who’re trying.

  1. He’d be a good add, I don’t care about the 14 mil, it’s unlikely the cubs are going to spend that money elsewhere. If the Astros eat none, the trade should be for someone near the bottom of the cubs 40 man, it’s a salary dump for Houston. With the current bullpen crunch I wouldn’t be surprised if the cubs were dangling Assad and trying to get them to eat a lot of the money.

  2. He’s only played for Minnesota and Houston. This madlad loves the Central Time Zone.

  3. Why didn’t we go with one of the FA. We are getting a lesser pitcher and saving a couple of million and giving up capital. 🤷‍♂️

  4. God, what are we giving up now for a closer?  Can’t sign one, can’t seem to produce our own.  

  5. There’s a reason you shouldn’t write out the contraction “who’re” and I’m sure you can see why.

  6. He’s on the wrong side of 30 and his underlying metrics regressed significantly last year, I really hope we don’t give too much up for him if this goes through
