Ex-Astros News 2021

Super Jack traded to Angels for cash.

Is that a move to free up a spot on the 40 man?

For the Braves, yes it does.

Hahaha. I had totally forgotten about the interim transaction. Thanks!

You’re not the only one. I had completely forgotten myself.

Maybe the fact that the thread is “Ex-Astros” news should have clued me in.

My first thought was “pretty sure this should be in the 2021 roster thread but I guess this makes him an ex-Astro” so you’re not the only one

I wish him luck.

For the Cubbies this spring…

Yeah I know completely meaningless as (A) it’s Arizona (B) it’s just 20 fucking ABs and (C) he could go down tomorrow with a leg injury (such as what he had last year or even earlier this spring). Still it’s hard not to again wonder about this given the club’s present predicament…

Springer has an oblique strain.

Probably from toting all that money.

I expected a more oblique reference to the contract

Souza to Dodgers on a minor league deal. I can’t help but wonder if this is purely a sign so they can extract info about his short time with the Astros. Is this dumb given he was only with the club a short time? Just curious for feedback on this.

I wouldn’t call it dumb.

But that’s only out of an excess of politeness.

He wasn’t even there long enough to learn the secret handshake

Info about what?

Nevermind – He was already released and the “deal” was a FA “deal” – I somehow read it as a trade.

I’m pretty sure his people’s people have people for that.
