You’ve even stated above that the Astros should offer a short term, Scherzer like contract for big dollars. The next 5 years of Correa are very...
You don't sign a big name free agent and give up a draft pick to create roster redundancy. Right now we are good-to-very good at all the...
Definitely. But that's a great price for the reigning Cy Young winner. He's 30 and has always had amazing stuff. All-time leader in MLB history...
Yeah Odo was solid down the stretch, 2.35 ERA in September. I would have thrown him in Game 6, instead of Garcia on short rest. You just don't...
I agree with everything else you said. But this comment was curious to me, because I think MLB has actually done really well with their streaming...
Of course it’s the contract length that’s surprising. I bet he could have gotten 5/150 from someone else so it’s what teams are willing to pay...
The GM always gets the credit and the blame for the moves made by an organization. Do we give Stone credit or blame for Morey's moves with the...
What the Rays have done is awesome… but Click wasn’t ever their GM. You can’t give him the credit for those moves any more than you can give...
Where do your numbers on Pham come from? He’s hit .229 and .211 in consecutive seasons, without much power. He’s also going to be 34 on opening...
Entirely agree with your first point - $19.5 for 4 years was a salary that fit the budget and the general desire to limit years, while upgrading a...
How did that work out?
May end up costly! 7 of 10 teams have winning records and only 6 make the playoffs. He went from having a bye week to one loss away from being...
Has @Ziggy won a game since this post? Another week, another loss. Bold move going without a QB or RB. ;)
The RH half of the platoon doesn't come anywhere close to full-time - they end up getting 30% or so of the ABs. And ideally, you're hoping to...
Like you said, it's business for both sides. I hear owners say they really want to keep X player when they really mean "I want to keep X player...
I think George was happy to sign elsewhere, but there's a difference between that and a refusal to consider the Astros even if they offered the...
I think the squad they ran out last year, with a healthy JV and McCullers, is capable of winning it all. Those two starters are a bigger...
Bryant is going to be 30 next year, Correa 27. Anything can happen, but the idea that Bryant (3.3 WAR in 2021) is going to massively improve in...
The Astros, in the middle of a pennant race, and trying to win another title, were never going to trade away one of their best players at the...
My preference by far, too. Just hard to find an upgrade at another position that would make up for that loss. Bryant has started 14 games in his...
