    How the fook did Brantley sweet talk Crane and Bagwell into giving him a $12 million contract? We got duped!

    Maybe Crane promised he'd take care of Brantley, and he's keeping his word

    Brantley's contract means nothing.

    The team is not at the CBT and he's on the 60 day IL so not taking a roster spot.

    No reason at all paying Brantley hurts the Astros

    It does if the idea was to use hum.as your everyday player instead of paying someone else.

    Radio silence on Brantley now. I'd say we'll never see him play again at this point.

    Just a matter of time before he's shut down for the year, ala McCullers.

    Insurance policy requires him to not play at all. He’s done.

    You edgelords keep edgelording, but if anyone is interested on some recent Brantley rumors, Blum and Balke had this to say on a July 18th podcast:

    Blum: "There's no confirmation on this, again, but I'm hearing that Brantley is much closer than we thought"

    Balke: "when I talked to a couple friends of mine in Dallas who have some friends within both organizations, they said 'you know, Brantley, don't write him off just yet.'"
