Now if Brantley and Tucker are better we should be ready for the Aās and Yankmeās
Per this article,
ā¦so he will remain with the Astrosā Triple-A club.
For how long?
At what point will he become a free agent?
He wonāt unless heās cut. Heāll be eligible for the rule 5 draft in December if heās not re-added to the 40-man

If a team claimed Martes, would he cost them a slot on their 40-man?
But if he is a Rule 5 draft, wouldnāt he cost at least $25K or $50K and a slot on the 25-man?
Could any team give him a workout b/t end of AAA season and the Rule 5 draft?

Thank you, Doyce7!
Iām fairly certain Martes will be a minor league free agent this fall. And I see little chance of him returning to the Astros.

Looking it up, I think you are probably right
So, a minor league free agent would not require a 40-man slot - while a waiver claim would?
Thank you, Walt Bond!
Everybody is back! (except Bregman, of course)

Jones optioned back to SL; J Smitty activated. Hereās to hoping he can regain some semblance of his 2018-19 form.
37-yo RPs can totally return to form after a full year off, right? Right??
Sure they can.
Sure.
Now letās sit on the porch and take our meds, mākay?
Iāll bet he can because of his unique delivery. He depends on location and movement, not stuff, so thatās something to watch.
