Snell, Bellinger, and Hader all rejected Qualifying Offers, so the Astros would lose their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round 2024 draft picks, along with...
Hader Bellinger and Montgomery. Don’t be a p***y Crane!
Gallo’s overall value might not be a bad upper outcome comp for Melton. Melton won’t strikeout that much, but he won’t walk or hit as many homers...
Waiting out the market is not a bad strategy, given all the factors: Roster is strong as-is Market is deep at need positions (7th/8th inning RP,...
Yariel Rodriguez only getting $32M/4yrs from Toronto. I would have liked him in Houston for that. Hopefully he isn’t good lol.
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/diamond-sports-group-announces-restructuring-deal-featuring-investment-from-amazon.html I would love it if...
3 BP trade targets that shouldn’t cost much: Hunter Harvey (Nats) Peter Lambert (Rockies) Garret Crochet (White Sox) I would think Lambert or...
Interesting. He was mentioned in MacTaggerts article today.
Buy low arms I’d be interested in: Vince Velasquez, Matthew Boyd, Michael Fulmer, Keynan Middleton, Jose Cisnero, Scott Alexander, Brad Hand, Amir...
Yes but if that’s the case go find another buy-low guy. Vince Velasquez might be worth a flier and could even outperform Neris next year.
Signing Neris would be doing what they did with Montero; winning a bet then doubling down. The odds don’t favor that move.
My kind of “final answer” for guessing what I thought Houston would actually do this offseason was Caratini, Matt Moore, and Joc Pederson in free...
No. Teams can recoup some actual dollars if they had insurance on a player, but there is no relief in terms of CBT calculations.
Well, ****. They really do need to make a move. Time to cast aside the CBT fear and go all in. Sign Hader, Montgomery, and Bellinger. ;) I...
Julks has no trade value. A team might ask for him as a throw-in in a trade or might claim him on waivers, but no team is currently going to give...
I think Melton will be the midpoint of Derek Fisher and George Springer, so somewhere between a replacement player and a perennial 4-5 win all-star.
The way I have always looked at it is that while elite prospects do carry bust risk, each elite prospect is representative of an org’s total farm...
Interesting that Dezenzo is rated higher this season than Hunter Brown was last season.
Yep. Brown has overseen one draft and one trade deadline and is 2/3 thru his first offseason. His trade deadline netted Verlander and Graveman...
