1. I woulda been more excited if they woulda signed verdugo

2. Love this pick up. He got me 3 home runs in a game 3 years ago in my fantasy league. Love this guy

3. Locked On Astros I have a question to ask you.

4. Thanks for the emergency stream!

5. Alex Verdugo make it happen

6. Rodgers is actually a solid pickup. Now go sign Verdugo on a 1 year deal to get some outfield depth.

7. This move has Altuve playing left field on a regular basis written all over it

8. Zack short, Luis Guillorme, Brendan Rodgers all infielders. That’s good man but why have they not signed in outfielder that we need badly to backup Chas and Jake ? Verdugo would have been a good option in my opinion. I think one of the biggest concern this off season besides 1st and 3rd base was the outfield ?

9. We still need an outfielder but it’s still a solid player

10. Another Ben Gamel reaction from the fans. Praises being heaped on for a very pedestrian talent. He's a ground ball hitter, his strikeout and walk rates are not good, away from Coors Field his stats are terrible and yet some of you "love this guy". Again absurd. If Rodgers is so good why is he signed to a minor league contract?

11. Avout time the gm took a chance lol do something with the outfield next jesus. Youre aware that meyers, mcormick and dubon batted 216 right 😂

12. Caratini can play 1B when Walker needs a day. Let Singleton go.

13. I’m not sure where you guys get your information from but this guy sucks. He only hits at Coors field. He has always struggled away from Coors field. His numbers look solid but he has a batting average of .200 away from Coors. It’s also a good bet he will hit the ball on the ground.

14. Astros don’t need another strikeout guy. Rodgers strikes out a lot. And has no pop. And is another RH bat…

15. Pretty solid! His health has been unlucky somewhat also. Sometimes a different atmosphere is the medicine needed for a career revival.

16. Seems like a positive move!

17. We're in desperate need of outfielders so who do we sign? I guess this will make it easier to play some other infielder in the outfield. Do Joe Espada and Dana Brown really know baseball at all? Sometimes I wonder. Case in point. Yesterday Espada floated the idea of Yordan batting second. Seriously? In what baseball world does that make any sense.

18. In a winning organization, great trainers, coaches for Brendan Rodgers. Very interesting pickup

19. Brendan Rodgers 28 Years Old

    .267 Avg 13 HR 54 RBI 134 Hits

20. WHY NOT GET A LEFT-FIELDER THAT CAN HIT INSTEAD OF MOVING YOUR HOF 2B???? Its insane to me. Help me w this.

21. I don’t know how much they gave him but he is a .227 career hitter outside of Coors. He is clearly a product of Colorado numbers.

22. Singleton has a history of hitting poorly as a pinch hitter. His stats only increase after he plays 2 or 3 consecutive games. No one should ever want Singleton as a bench option. DFA him, see if he takes the minor league assignment (I really think he would) – and get him playing everyday at Sugar Land to be available in case of injury.

23. not liking the trend of bringing more of the same weak hitters. no real help imo. highest % ground ball hitter in mlb.🤔

24. is there a way to trade Montero, maybe eat some dollars to get him off our salary cap and use that money for Verdugo? Not sure what Verdugo is asking but at this point, hes not getting much. Stretch i know, but we need another proven OF, think hes gonna have a bounce back year

25. come on eric, put Altuve in th OF and "if it dont work" what we ask Altuve to go back to 2nd? Come on man..

26. Get rid of Singleton

27. You know what? This move doesn't suck. I would have much preferred a profar or santander this offseason but I don't make the decisions.
