Astros: Discount Deal Options for 1B

Updated: Jul 22

Previously, we proposed the premium options for an Astros' trade for 1B help.






Now we will explore the discount aisle. What deals could the Astros get for less than half of the premium options?


Some say the Astros need to make a deal to get an upgrade at 1B. Who should they get? What would it take? Discover at that here at LarryTheGM!


We promised that when we hit the All-Star Break that we would be all over the Astros trade deadline. We are.


As a reminder, here are the premium options we showed you previously.


Here are some options that may not quite reach the same levels as that list, and I compare these options to Yandy Diaz.

The players in yellow above came from our recap discussion on YouTube.

Yes, these options are not as likely to dominate as Diaz but they at SIGNIFICANTLY lower trade capital.


Do any of these Astros discount deal options at 1B interest you? Who should the Astros pursue? Please comment below.


What about Ty France? Updated



Yesterday, there was news that France was being waived.


How would France compare to the other options above?


Do you believe in xwOBA?

  • Yes, He would be better than.

  • No, other options are better.


Also note that France has played half of his games at the most pitcher friendly park in the MLB. When comparing to the league consider wRC+ numbers that adjust for ball parks. This is favorable for France too.
