    No. The others is not a combined percentage.

    honestly i would have rather picked up Stroman over Ray. I think it's more likely the Astros could bump up Stroman's K% than address Ray's issues with walks and homeruns.

    Why would Houston want Mancini??? Luhnow throwing Elias a bone in the rumor mill.

    Because they don't have any OFs under control past 2020.

    I think the bigger issue with Tucker is that he inexplicably took a step back so far this season for no apparent reason (making a mechanical adjustment? idk). He's young enough for it not to tank his stock but if he doesn't rebound next season then he could really drop.

    Maybe one of those guys is a full time starting OF. Straw won't hit enough and let's face it, Yordan is DH until proven otherwise.

    It all comes down to cost.

    He is a controllable bat that can play outfield and 1st base.... the positions Kyle Tucker has played/been working on.

    If they can get a good starter with multiple years AND another good player (a rental SP or a late inning reliever with multiple years) then it would be worth parting with Tucker.

    Some Tucker hypotheticals:

    Astros get:
    SP Noah Syndergaard
    RP Seth Lugo

    Mets get:
    OF Kyle Tucker
    SP Rogelio Armenteros
    C Garrett Stubbs

    Astros get:
    OF Trey Mancini
    SP Dylan Bundy
    RP Mychal Givens
    C Pedro Severino

    Orioles get:
    OF Kyle Tucker
    C Max Stassi

    Astros get:
    SP Robbie Ray
    SP Zack Greinke
    C Alex Avila
    RP Andrew Chafin
    RP Archie Bradley
    $40M

    Diamondbacks get:
    OF Kyle Tucker
    RHP Bryan Abreu
    2B Tony Kemp
    LHP Framber Valdez
    C Max Stassi
    RHP Tyler Ivey
