New evidence that Jeff Bagwell is running Houston Astros

BUCK STOPS WITH BAGGY?

One of the surprising elements to come out of Astros Fan Fest over the weekend was Jeff Bagwell's role speaking with the media about the state of the team. The Astros have three assistant general managers that were asked to speak, all declined, leaving Bagwell to answer all the questions.

Plus, when Jose Abreu spoke at Fan Fest about signing with the club, he thanked Jim Crane, and wait for it, Jeff Bagwell.

The Astros are expected to hire a GM, and we've been seeing reports about interviews taking place. But will Bagwell remain as the mouthpiece of the organization, acting as a buffer between the new GM and owner Jim Crane?

Check out the video above as the guys from The Wheelhouse lay it all out!

With the MLB trade deadline just hours away, the Astros have made a deal with the Orioles to bolster the infield.

Per multiple reports, the Astros are trading for Orioles' Gold Glove (2022) infielder Ramón Urías.

 

Urías (age 31) is slashing .248/.300/.388 this season with eight home runs. He'll be a free agent in 2027.

 

MLB.com's Brian McTaggart is reporting that the Astros are sending RHP Twine Palmer to the Orioles in the deal.
