If Pressly wants an extension he isn’t getting traded.
Yes but it’d still be the same value and cost to the team.
This is a non issue. Teams in cities with state income tax can easily defer money to after Bregman’s retirement when he can reside full time in a...
Astros: It’s possible to imagine the Astros being content with their current starting depth after adding Hayden Wesneski to the mix in the Kyle...
Dont sleep on Hummel’s chances of making the roster. He is out of options, hits lefthanded, and can play corner OF, 1B, and serve as a...
You can say it’s horseshit but it’s purely subjective so not sure why you wanna talk so dramatically. We’re only discussing this as part of...
That would be moving 2 players into positions they aren’t used to. It’s simple, Paredes can play LF. It’s not a big deal. He will start out as...
Because it’s not that hard for a professional baseball player with the skills needed to play 3B to play LF. There will potentially be some...
There is just about zero concern with finding enough playing time for Paredes. He can play 60-90 games as the primary backup at 1B/2B/3B and...
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/giants-declined-to-include-bryce-eldridge-in-tucker-crochet-trade-offers.html Interesting report that SF...
I was projected which prospects would debut THAT year (2025). I had Leon, Lee, Pena, and Whitley all debuting earlier than that.
I won’t update the outlook until I feel like the Astros offseason is complete (I think they have at least 1 and probably 2 meaningful moves left),...
Arizona has a glut of lefty OF bats and doesn’t have a proven closer. They also need to dump Jordan Montgomery’s salary. Pressly for Montgomery...
Astros are projected to have the 3rd best offense in the AL, behind the Orioles and Yankees, just above the Rangers. Let’s see how they stack up...
The arbitration filing deadline is next week. My guess is that if Houston were going to trade Framber, they’ll do it in the next 2-3 days. It...
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/where-can-astros-turn-for-a-left-handed-outfielder.html Some interesting ideas in the comments. Seems...
Neris, Robert, and Heyward would be my guess. But there’s lots of options. That roster would be sick: CF Robert Jr. 2B Altuve DH Alvarez 1B...
If Grichuk will sign for <$7M he’d be fine, although I’d prefer Heyward or Polanco over Grichuk. I think the odds are high Grichuk’s 2024 was a...
A good controllable OF bat, another lower tier FA bat, and an upside RP to replace Pressly would leave a stacked roster. Here’s hoping.
I could be being naive, but I don’t think there’s any shame in Bregman simply saying “at the end of the day, my wife and I didn’t want to leave...
