I too like Michael but he was going to be an up and down fill in at best here.
With Korey Lee the most likely catcher w/ Maldy next year and “catcher of the future”
And a couple of guys behind him in levels who could surpass him he looked to be a spare part.
Like Garrett Stubbs hopefully he can move on into a good situation.
Then maybe Goodrum gets sent down
I missed last night’s game. What happened to Altuve?
Ball hit off glove. Quickly changed direction to reach for it. Looked to tweak left leg.
Dusty said he won’t play today but it was scheduled day off
Context on the trade
More depth is always a good thing. Good on Click for being proactive.
Seems like the correct move…

Confirmed.
As I said above, Goodrum is just not a major leaguer anymore. Everyone declines at some point. Good trade by Click.
This is not fair at all to him.
He’s not a good big-league hitter anymore, no. But he was fine as a replacement fielder.
His role was supposed to be the 26th man, an extra glove, and a spot starter now and then.
Injuries forced him in to being a starter, and he was not good enough for that.
Well, you might be right. It’s just my opinion. I’ll add one former GM said this morning, “Goodrum isn’t a big leaguer anymore.” Doesn’t mean he’s right either. Just his opinion as well. I’m sure there might be 1 or 2 teams that will give him a shot. We will see. I wish him no ill will, but I want my baseball team to be successful. Hopefully this move Click made helps keep us that way. We need quality all around depth. Whoever we have backing up Altuve and Peña need to be able to hit too, not just field, especially given the frequency of Altuve’s injuries and the fact that Peña has never played anything close to a 162 game season.
So funny. A 26th man will not determine a team’s success or failure. No doubt your GM guru was talking about his hitting because Goodrum damn sure is a MLB fielder.
Wonder who the next whipping boy will be?
Siri and/or Chas, I assume.
Especially since Meyers is rehabbing soon and Leon is having some success.
eta: there’s always the catchers, and somebody in the bullpen
26th men can quickly not be the 26th man due to injury. I’d like my 26th man to show a pulse at the plate. If you can find one who is just as good a fielder who can hit you should make that move. But you can keep Goodrum on your fantasy team since you feel it will not determine your teams success or failure.
Idiotic response, but entirely in character.
Oh good grief. Diaz was supposed to be your primary backup/spot infielder, not Goodrum. Goodrum is what he is, a good fielder who can get you an inning or two at multiple positions, be a late inning pinch runner, if you need him. But that’s about it. You now have a bigger need with injuries to Altuve and Peña, and the Astros made a move. Good. But to bash Goodrum because he wasn’t something he was never intended to be is just silly.
I believe the order of succession moves to the backup catcher.
If a guy is a good fielder and decent hitter, he’s not a 26th man. He’s probably starting somewhere
