If they miss the playoffs in 2026 then yeah it’s over at least for awhile.
From fangraphs write up on all the rule 5 picks: “Muñoz is the rare Rule 5 pick who’s already lost rookie eligibility, as the former Brave,...
That’s an overpay.
Peralta is a rental. Houston can get him if they want to. It might take something utterly stupid like offering Cam Smith, which I would hate.
Was in the DSL for 4 seasons and consistently crushed that level, odd that he was never brought stateside.
Pffffft
FG Mets #23 prospect in 2024: McLoughlin was part of the Fairfield squad that made beat Arizona State en route to a Regional finals loss to Texas...

Astros didn’t win the lottery. They will pick 17th. They also have the 28th pick. Rays Giants and Royals won.
Precursor to Crane selling the team in a few years. My guess is that Crane will sell the team when Altuve retires. But yeah can’t be a good...
I know it’s far fetched, but I’m a little surprised we haven’t heard any rumors whatsoever about Alex Bregman coming back. He’s probably going to...
Not that I disagree with your overall point, but Forrest Whitley was also once 6’6” and 23 years old with a triple digit fastball.
You know what? **** the world baseball classic. I can’t be the only one.
