Astros interested in Lugo?

OK, I'll take George Springer.

Have their people call our people to finish up the paperwork.

I could see Lugo as a sell-high candidate, but that's only useful if you can replace him without overpaying. It could be done, but I have no idea what was on the table.

I always thought Grant Roberts would have made a good sell-high candidate. Whoah!

In hindsight, he would have.
