Randy Flores spoke to @matthewkawahara and me today in Las Vegas about Brad Ausmus' hire, Jeff Bagwell's influence, the perception battle he has to fight and an ill-fated bowling trip with Ausmus in San Diego last weekend. Free for all to read - nytimes.com/athletic/7774915…

Being friends with Jeff Bagwell doesn’t mean Brad Ausmus will be a bad manager
The same people losing their minds over Ausmus being hired are the same ones that wanted Dusty fired and Espada in the chair.
Astros fans are so dramatic. Yall are all going to still be watching the games just like you always do. Relax.

I’m more curious who the bench coach will be. Could Ensberg still come in that role?
The Astros will reportedly hire Brad Ausmus as their next manager, per MLB’s @brianmctaggart.

Flores/Ausmus is a pretty significant upgrade over Brown/Espada.
Yes, I get the Bagwell stink, and that’s valid.
AJ Hinch had a 89-123 managerial record over 2 seasons before coming to Houston and he’s the most beloved manager in team history.

I’m going to take this with a grain of salt because he also said his sources told him Lunhow would be GM.
On our show just now, @johngranato just announced that sources have confided that Brad Ausmus will be the Astros next manager.

I’m honestly fine with any of the 4 Astros manager candidates. I think they all are qualified and bring something different. The GM hire was way more important anyways. What ‘Flo’ does will have a far greater impact than any manager hire.

The #Padres have agreed to terms with free-agent RHP Ryan Weiss on a major league contract, per @JesseRogersESPN

My money is on it being Urueta…seems like the Astros thing to do.
Hearing the #Astros have selected their next manager and should notify candidates shortly after they dot I’s and cross T’s. I’d imagine they announce after that’s done rather than have a repeat of the previous situation.
As always with this organization, things can change at any moment. But, with Randy in charge you can already feel the change with how things are led.

Send them Mills for a 3/4
Developing: The Vikings have begun making calls around the league about trading for a quarterback ahead of today’s 4 pm ET deadline, per @rapsheet and me.

I would trade Stroud if I was GM. Only because his value is at its peak and you could get a haul from a QB needy team and not have to pay him leaving you way more flexibility moving forward. Obviously not happening but…it’s what I would do.
