Well, what is the speculation?

Round Rock?  Everything else I can think of is bad.

I have no idea but that sounds like a good guess. I was thinking maybe an extension for Hinch or something?

Contract extension for Correa?  That would be pretty major.

Tags clarifies that the Astros called a press conference but did NOT say it was a major announcement.

My money’s on Luhnow/Hinch extensions.

What was he before?

Just GM.  They didn't have Pres of Baseball Ops.  He now can't leave for a promotion elsewhere since there's no higher office.

Well deserved reward.

In addition to loving this particular team (players/manager/coaches),  I love the way the organization is run.   Every aspect seems to have a direction.

Just glad the announcement wasn't that Dallas Keuchel was going to be in the ESPN Body Issue.  Hold on..... Wait... Oh, he is?  Yes,  Really.

Apparently that issue will have more beards than Tom Cruise.
