Astros signed 1B Luis Castro to a minor league deal. Hasn’t been in affiliated ball since 2021. Peak was in 2019 when he had 27 HR and 15 SB...
A lot of the offseason comments and rumors lead me to believe they intend to add a LF and have McCormick in CF. It’s a shame Dezenzo and Whitcomb...
And Sasaki. If that happens they will have the most talented team ever assembled.
There’s really not another example of a team going so deeply into a rebuild then supplementing it with a top 5 payroll during the contending...
I didn’t say Luhnow did a bad job. I liked him. I just think the thing that separates him from bad or mediocre GMs was his ability to sell such...
I have long thought that by far the best thing Luhnow did was going thru a binder with Jim Crane that convinced him to do a complete and total...
Underrated free agents I would like Houston to sign: 1B Josh Bell LF Joc Pederson 3B Donovan Solano If they can’t sign Bregman, give each of...
That’s a question only Jim Crane can answer, and also depends on what they do this offseason. Right now with only in-house options they project...
Even if Click was on board with going after those guys, I am skeptical that he was already to the point of talking details; Abreu at $38M/2yrs is...
Framber, Brown, and Blanco will be horses slated for 180 ip if they stay healthy. Arrighetti will not be on a limit but doesn’t consistently...

Will Wagner’s .331 wOBA projection for 2025 would be the 5th highest on the Astros roster.
If you’re gonna give McCormick 200 pa to see if he is back, then odds are decent that one of the other upper level young OF (Trammell, Meyers,...
A 6-7-8-9 of Diaz-McCormick-Pena-Dezenzo is absolutely fine if they have a 4-5 of Bregman and another great hitter in LF.
I think it’s a fair contract with as much upside as downside. I would have been fine with Houston signing Kikuchi for that price. Still,...
Likely true.
Maybe they just go with a youth movement at the bottom of the lineup: 2B Altuve SS Pena DH Alvarez RF Tucker C Diaz LF McCormick 1B Dezenzo CF...
Angels have a chance to be pretty good if they get some good luck wrt health. They probably need to sign another ToR SP.
Going into 2025, here are some guys who had really strong finishes to 2024 that might be worth keeping an eye on if they start strong next season:...
