NFT: MLB Winter Meetings Day 4

Astros designated OF Preston Tucker for assignment.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Hector Rondon. Tucker looked like a potentially important part of the Astros' future not long ago, but he's been bypassed by others on the depth chart and spent all of 2017 at Triple-A even though he turned 27 at midseason. Still, he should draw some interest on waivers. Dec 15 - 3:50 PM

(Story was the Mets wanted to draft Tucker 6th round in 2012 but he didn't answer his phone, presumably they would be interested)

love how all of these teams have fanfests but not our Mets. Astros event is totally free too.

I�ve been busting my ass in the weight room, taking a bunch of quality defensive reps, and working in the cage with some offensive stuff. I�m getting better every day and fixed what was wrong last year. No need to be a prick. I�d be happy to video myself taking gbs next time

It was kind of a douchy thing to say to him. twitter really sucks some times with athletes being so potentially accessible.

to be clear, that was not me.

I knew it wasn't unless your name is jon jae.

I thought it could be a buddy busting his balls, but based on his response it didn't seem that way.
