The moves give the Astros some payroll flexibility in their pursuit of pitching, which is their biggest need this winter. Urías and Dubón, both of whom were in their third year of arbitration, had one year of control remaining and were likely to get non-tendered by the Astros prior to Friday’s deadline. Allen has three years of team control remaining and is arbitration-eligible for the first time.
Hate to see dubie go but it is a business after all
I get it. But it’s tough to watch teams like the Yankees and Dodgers reload every year, while it’s all about saving money for the Astros. If Brown lands a big arm, great. But we all know he won’t.
Never thought I’d see people dooming over a light hitting utility player. Get a grip people, half of you wanted to fire him into the sun in 2022.
Regardless, sad to see him go. Gotta stop making players my favorites cause this is now the 3rd time they’ve been traded or left… Correa and Springer too
Wow, they showed the one hit that Nick Allen had last year 👏
Sad but meh, we need that money and we need to find a starting pitcher
Seems like we are trading on over stacked infielder for another infielder
I still don’t like it, even if we do need pitching. I’m sure like ever trade the Astros make, it’ll come around to bite us in the ass.
