Stanek and Neris were the only free agents on the world series roster. Brantley would have been if he were healthy obviously.
I think the number counts Alvarez as a trade. Sometimes I think we are the Spurs of the 2000's of the MLB. We figured out the international draft...
I'm looking at the Yankees payroll. After they sign Judge, they will be right at the second threshold of 250 million. So any contract they sign...
exactly. Crane always made the financial decisions and he also had veto rights on player decisions. I think he will do fine as long as he listens...
We had the highest homegrown talent in the playoffs I think [IMG]
You're smoking crack. Hunter Brown has ace potential. He's not going anywhere unless it's for a healthy Trout or Ohtani. Definitely not for a WAR...
Crane knows that Verlander is worth a lot more but I doubt Scherzer contract more. I just don't see anyone other than LA or a non contending team...
Would also love to bring Brantley and Yuli back for depth. We would essentially be adding Abreu and Brantley to a dominant world series team.
Nimmo is below average defensively at CF, and his offense isn't that much better than Chas. Not worth the spend or commitment required to get him....
The only thing Bell got is age, but he will also require the longest commitment. I want Abreu because besides age and lower homeruns last season,...
first savings and loans, then dot com stocks, then credit default swaps, now crypto. Every decade has people investing in stuff they don't...
Doubt Nimmo happens. He's going to be crazy expensive and he's not a bona-fide star.
This was a Passan hit piece. Everything spun to make the Astros look bad for clicks when in reality Crane actually knows what the F he's doing.
If Verlander's price is too high, I'm starting to think Degrom would be a good consolation prize. The injury history is a concern but having a 6...
I just don't see Ausmus as a GM. I think he's here for a front office job, but the GM thing was just more BS to make the article more dramatic.
I don't think Ausmus is happening.
A Passan hit piece. Wants to make the Astros and Crane look bad when he's consistently draws aces. Nothing wrong with pulling Luhnow disciples...
Yep, manager of the year is for overachieving teams. Ask Dusty if he rather win the award or play in the world series. We all know the answer.
3-115 with a team option or some type of vesting based on the second year would work.
rizzo has been equally average since he turned 30. None of them are good and no where near Yuli except for last season
