Catherine Reeves+FollowAstros rookie Cam Smith benched amid slumpCam Smith’s bat has gone cold at the worst possible time for the Astros.

CrimsonCactus+FollowWe're really losing Framber to the O's?The Astros front office is absolutely losing their minds if they let Framber Valdez walk to Baltimore!

The same franchise that's been rebuilding forever suddenly has deep pockets? Framber's been loyal, he's been elite, and losing him would be organizational malpractice. The King of Ground Balls deserves better than watching management penny-pinch his way out of Houston.
