The market for good controllable hitters is very hot. Unfortunately if Houston is going to add a good bat via trade, it’s going to hurt. Giving...
Nothing is guaranteed but to me he’s a better player than Pena and nobody was all that up in arms when Pena replaced Correa. And he may not have...
Salazar is an underrated young player in Houston’s org. Very good report with pitchers, very good overall defensively, doesn’t strike out much,...
Dollar for dollar yes Paredes + Walker will very likely make less than Bregman will. But Brown also gave up Tucker and a 2nd round pick. That’s...
It’s hard to pin down but my guess is Houston has between $5M and $15M to go before going over the first threshold. They should have enough money...
With Brown having overlap with that 2021 Braves front office, wouldn’t be a shock to see him go after Pederson or Duvall.
There may be a learning curve but I’m confident he’d be an adequate corner OF and potentially end up very good; he’s a plus plus athlete. He was...
Dezenzo has a very strong arm. Not sure how accurate his throws will be but he has a gun.
That play Bregman made in the playoffs that year to gun down that dude at home on that infield grounder was easily one of my top 5 defensive plays...
Are you sure that’s how it works? My understanding is that they only get CBT relief for the prorated amount remaining.

Pederson was ready to play the field in 2024. There were articles about how he really wanted to be in the field. Unfortunately for him the...
You worry me.
Yeah, Smith and Matthews are no Hector Nieves, I’ll give ya that!
Updated Astros rank by position per fangraphs: C: 9 1B: 6 2B: 4 SS: 21 3B: 7 RF: 22 CF: 21 LF: 15 (aided by Yordan’s allocation) DH: 2 SP: 14 RP:...
I don’t believe that. They may not make any big moves on par with Walker/Paredes, but they will acquire an outfielder before opening day. It...
I probably would too.
A Luis Robert Jr. trade would tie the roster up with a bow. Chicago would likely be wise to hold onto him until the deadline and hope he has a...
The 13th position player on the vast majority of rosters gets <200 pa. How to get the most value out of that limited playing time is very...
