    Well I'm glad the Astros organization was able to introduce him to what a trade is.

    Should Yordan fire his agent? Deal seems terrible for player his caliber

    The deal included arbitration years when he would have been paid less. Astros got 3 FA years out of the deal. Bregman did a similar deal but for just 2 FA years. Can't fault him for getting that guaranteed money after multiple knee surgeries.

    Especially considering that fact that he grew up poor and that contract gave him generational wealth.
