They probably want one of Javier/Brown. I’m hoping JV is making it tough on the steM and saying Houston is his preferred destination and won’t waive his no trade clause otherwise.
They can ask, Dana can also tell them to fuck off.

Meaning the Dodgers are one of 10 teams he doesn’t want to be traded to?
Yep. So Rodriguez would likely be Brown’s backup plan if a Verlander deal isn’t feasible.
While I will definitely be excited if the Astros land JV, his age and money worry me a bunch. In 2024 and 2025 Crane would be paying 42/43 year old Verlander, 39/40 year old Abreu and never healthy McCullers, $72m+ which represents 1/3 of the 2023 Astros payroll. Old and expensive generally isn’t a great formula.
Well, Rodriguez must be a fine outstanding fellow.
Yeah, but that takes the fun out of it.

Or they’re one of 10 teams where he thought a trade was most likely, and therefore named them under his NTC to be able to extract concessions if Detroit wants to trade him there.

They are interested in just about anyone with a plus arm.
They were talking to the Royals yesterday and the White Sox about their pen arms.
While the Astros would love a starter - they are aggressive looking for another arm.
The Astros before the Verlander talks had been trying to get a couple Mets relievers.
Other interesting thing I heard is that the Astros would at least consider moving someone like Gilbert for an absolute top level reliever under long term control. This surprised me.
Astros/Mets talks heating up again and they might be “rounding third base” - Feinsand
