The Yankees and Astros were the two teams that showed the most interest in signing Trevor Bauer while he was with Diablos Rojos in Mexico, sources tell me. However, both teams eventually backed away without providing a reason for their decisions. This had happened before with other teams that, after making contact with Bauer, also walked away without explaining why. Here’s Bauer’s latest interview with Rompiendo Sports, alongside @mikedeportes, discussing the situation without mentioning any team names.

Japanese 18-year-old pitching prospect Shoki Oda and his camp met with MLB teams yesterday, including the Phillies and Mets. He is expected to meet with the Cardinals, Blue Jays, Astros, Yankees and others in the coming hours. Oda would be eligible to sign on Jan. 15, 2027, if the international signing period is not canceled.

Better than “the team that shall not appear in a World Series!” #Astros @LockedOnAstros

Según mis fuentes, el toletero dominicano Albert Pujols, quien conectó 703 cuadrangulares durante su carrera en las Grandes Ligas, será entrevistado por los Astros de Houston en los próximos días para ocupar el puesto de dirigente. De acuerdo con la información que he recibido, Pujols podría ser el candidato ideal que está buscando la organización de Houston. #AlbertPujols #Astros #Houston #MLB

So…first impression of Randy “Flo” Flores is I like his attitude. He didn’t come in promising to extend everyone under the sun. He was real and showed the edge that I think a GM should have. First thing on his list, a manager. He referred to an active convo on his phone. #Astros

#Rays have traded Triple-A RHP Evan Reifert, a potential 40-man roster add, to #Astros, as @ByRobertMurray 1st reported. Return is cash (and one less decision to make on players to protect from Rule 5 selection).

Happy Halloween! Chat GPT made a ghost image of me. I look a little pale. I don’t drink coffee, but maybe Dr. Pepper in the cup.

Who is Randy Flores, the new #Astros GM? @_JeremyBooth and I talked about 'Flo' and his credentials on the Oct 22 episode of Extra Bases. Booth makes the case for Flores as Astros GM, praising the Cardinals executive's scouting success and pioneering use of video analytics.
