SAY WHAT?

How Houston Texans are impacted by Jim Irsay's slip of the tongue

The Indianapolis Colts held a press conference on Tuesday to announce Shane Steichen as the team's new head coach. But the big takeaway from the presser had little to do with Steichen.

Owner Jim Irsay caught everyone's attention when he discussed the possibility of trading up in the draft, and said the team is looking for a young QB. To go even further, Irsay referenced Bryce Young saying, “Although the Alabama guy doesn't look bad.”

So what do we make of his comments? Should we take him at his word, or is he giving the appearance that the team likes Young, hoping it will incentivize the Texans to spend extra draft capital to trade up and secure Bryce Young?

ESPN Houston's Jake Asman, Brad Kellner, and Cody Stoots break it all down on The Wheelhouse.

The Houston Astros haven't counted on their catchers to deliver much offensive production in recent years, with defensive specialist Martin Maldonado being their primary catcher for the last few seasons. But top hitting prospect Yainer Diaz is making a case to get more playing time behind the plate and at first, based on his ability to swing the bat.

Until recently, he hasn't been able to get any meaningful playing time. Even David Hensley, who was optioned to Sugar Land a few weeks ago, has more plate appearances than Diaz this season.

So how does manager Dusty Baker find more opportunities for Diaz? Should he use him more often as a DH, along with getting time at first base and catcher?

And what does that mean for Jose Abreu, Martin Maldonado, and to a lesser extent, former first round pick and Sugar Land Space Cowboy catcher, Korey Lee?

Plus, considering how good the Astros outfielders have been this year, does the team need to grab another bat before the trade deadline?
