Not to make this an Astros thread but real quick how do you feel about giving up Gilbert? Seems like we’re committing pretty hard to McCormick and (hopefully) extending Tucker

We have a bunch of organizational depth in the OF in the minors. Guys like Barber, Melton, Loperfido, Corona, Gomez, & the big name to watch is Baez. I am okay with losing Gilbert. I think his ceiling was somewhat limited.

I am actually more upset we lost Ryan Clifford. I think he has the potential to absolutely mash if he continues to develop. At only 19 he is destroying A ball.

Look at our OF
LF Alvarez (~50% of the time) - FA in 2029
CF McCormick - FA in 2027
RF Tucker - FA in 2026
