I don’t that’s necessarily the case. There are many avenues of logic for Houston to sign Soto: Combine him with Tucker and the other current...
There’s a universe where everything you can imagine is happening. But the odds of signing Soto by itself is closer to 0% than 1%, so the odds of...
Bohm is a middle of the order hitter against lefties but he’s playable against righties. Problem for Houston is that they already have a great...
Bohm would be a good replacement for Bregman if the price was right and Houston was able to add a really good platoon bat for Singleton and an OF...
Interesting calculus: Soto + prospects from trading Tucker > Tucker + Bregman; the 2025 money is probably a wash. Same could be said for signing...

I think it’s really interesting that Cooper Hummel is still on the 40 man roster, and survived the recent purge. I like him as a potential 13th...
A bunch of minor leaguers reached free agency: 11/04/24 RHP Franny Cobos elected free agency. 11/04/24 RHP Jeremy Molero elected free agency....
Alex Santos II made the Arizona Fall League All-Star team. He tied for the league lead in strikeouts. I wouldn’t have thought this before the...
Melton is probably the closest but really all those guys carry too much risk to be considered top level talent. Melton and Matthews have...
Interesting anecdote while perusing fangraphs. # of prospects with >$800k bonus on Fangraphs’ Prospect Board: Astros: 15 Rangers: 13 Mariners:...
My understanding is that the Astros have not negotiated much with their own players once they reach free agency. Springer, Correa, and Verlander...
