He projects to be worse than Singleton. The presence of 3 guys (Singleton, Dubon, Loperfido) who can give Houston a league average bat at 1B...
I will be quite surprised if Houston ends up with a rental bat. My guess at their priorities/targets: 1. a lefthanded above-average veteran bat...
I really do wonder what Abreu’s other offers were at the time. I suspect just about every team in the league would have offered him at least some...
I could understand not counting on McCullers for anything. But there’s really not much reason to think Garcia won’t be a viable SP next season.
You’re missing Garcia and McCullers. The 2025 opening day rotation currently projects to Framber, Verlander, Blanco, Brown, McCullers, and...
They have 8 series left before the all star break and to get to the point to justify buying they need to win 6 of them. If they win 5 of them...

Because it doesn’t really matter. Tucker and his agent aren’t dumbasses who will count deferred money the same as money that isn’t deferred....
Going back to hypothetical trades, I think the Luis Castillo deal and the Frankie Montas deal are the 2 best comps for what Houston could expect...
Like I said, they can probably afford Tucker. But it would be threading a needle, financially. One on hand I like it because then there’d be no...
Meh, there’s limits. The competitive balance tax penalties are legitimately punitive. And while the teams are surely making more profits than...
The Astros can probably afford to pay one of Tucker or Bregman, more likely Bregman. Giving Tucker $250M+ would really squeeze payroll for the...
Rotation was cruising, then… Valdez 5 er in 4ip Brown tosses a gem JV hurt Arrighetti 7 er in 1.1ip FML
