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.

Maybe extending Hinch or Luhnow?

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.

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. (http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2018/06/19/dallas-keuchel-adam-rippon-espn-body-issue/)
