Trade Pedro Alvarez to the Astros for Scott Feldman.

Astros DH hasn't produced. Feldman has been moved to the bullpen where he has done well.

Move Trumbo to DH and play Rickard in RF. Make Feldman the other half of a Bundy tandem. Go to an 8-man bullpen. Remember, Flash can play the outfield if needed.

Feldman has the advantage of having played for the O's and knowing the clubhouse. He would be a good addition, and the Astros could really use Pedro's bat.

Pedro Alvarez is slashing .271/.324/.535/.859 over his last 142 PAs over 40 games. Why are we talking about DFAing him?

Ah, the dichotomy of the HO. Another thread has a poster advocating a qualifying offer for El Toro.

      JD Martinez

      JD Martinez would be a more of the same kind of acquisition. He is not an impact bat and he is a periphery (around the margins) piece at this point. Why not set the bar higher and sign Alonso? Acquiring Pete Alonso allows you to move on from Mountcastle and put Mayo (where he belongs right now) DH. It also allows you to move on from O'Hearn.  Alonso gets everyday ABs and Mayo does. Those two things to a large degree help solve the lineup imbalance against LHP. I know Alonso will cost real money. But again who are we paying? The money is there. It's time to start using it (if we want to win in October).

      Your full quote said to use him as a DH for 100+ games. If you are worried about him being covered through his injuries - how can you assume he wouldn't be injured at the end of the season, going into the playoffs?

      Here’s an exercise… it’s the postseason and the bases are loaded. The Santa scenario. Who on our current roster would you rather have up over JD Martinez?  Same fact pattern as Santander’s AB.

      Why did you pare down my quote about it being for the post season and not just 162?  People, always so quick to clown someone. Lmao. Damn. At least use my whole quote bro.  If you think that we don’t need at least one proven playoff bat then that’s ok. My point is, that we have enough 1B/DH options to carry JD through his ups/downs/injuries over 162 for his experience, leadership, and playoff experience.  You can disagree, but quote me right.

      It's kind of amazing to me how no one knows Suarez's free agent status. I've heard it both ways. He's Schrodinger's baseball player.

      Since JD Martinez has a career OPS of .950 in the postseason across 12 series and 151 plate appearances, I am sure our FO will have no use for him.  A veteran player who has experienced a lot of postseason success rarely helps young teams get to that next level.
