DaDakota approves and also would like to ask him to rub some dirt on it and play today as well.
Why do you need to platoon him? You already told us that the Astros are going to release Pena next year for no reason with nothing in exchange so...
DaDakota thinks they should wrap it with duct tape and send him back out there.
And it counted more in earlier seasons - it's adds up to the same amount. This team going to be hanging around the luxury tax every year its in...
I'm not sure how we jumped from trading for Correa to somehow trading Yordan in the offseason. There's exactly a 0% chance Yordan is getting...
Extending your own players is no different than signing a FA in terms of cost. Altuve, Bregman, etc didn't take below-market offers to be...
He's a 30 year old career minor leaguer that's only on the Astros because of the injury mess. What did you expect? I suspect most career minor...
King has a sub-1 ERA and WHIP this month.
The other two, yes. Paredes came back, played at full speed for several weeks, and then injured the other hamstring the 2nd time. There's not...
Slightly different scenario, but also very cool. He played for both teams in a single game - but on separate days (though I guess in the record...
This trade was done between games of a double header while playing the opponent. Dominguez was available to pitch for Baltimore in the first game...
I think that's a reasonable standard and one that has worked really well for the Astros. You just have to accept that you'll never sign a top-tier...
You seem like an terrible human being. Drugging people up unnecessarily so they can live through pain and entertain you while doing long-term...
I guess it depends on your definition of "close". Of the dozen different active discussions, the vast majority won't end up happening. Meaning...
I believe he always says this kind of thing. No GM in their right mind would ever go to media and say "we're close" if it were true - all it does...
Personally, I think idiots should be repeatedly called out for being idiots. Ignoring ignorance just perpetuates it and lets it fester and then...
Would a team that has endless injuries really trade for Lowe, who has had injuries every year of his career and is currently on the IL for a...
Many times, when teams make trades, the players they get are very different than the first-half version of that player. I remember the Josh Bell...
I don't know that players would agree to a max annual salary but maybe they could figure out a way to limit contract length. A player like Ohtani...
If you're trading for Correa, its in part for whatever value you believe he has in the clubhouse, whatever value he brings to the franchise (how...
