I would have been happy with $36M/2yrs. But I would have wanted the 3rd year to be at a lower rate. So $50M/3yrs would have been a good value....
Benintendi is probably the best fit left on the market. I am surprised Profar hasn’t been mentioned more; he doesn’t strike out and has defensive...
Gave him about $10M more than I would likely have offered but it’s not my money. Abreu is gonna mash next season.
I believe in stacking the roster 1-40. My opinion is that recent seasons have shown a relative market inefficiency wrt depth. 15 players got...
Hensley played at least 18 games at all 4 positions this season in AAA (plus 6 games in LF). Having watched him several times, it’s pretty clear...
I am not necessarily down on Lee or Diaz (or Meyers for that matter). I think they have a good chance to be decent everyday players and an...
Pretty sure Alfaro was non-tendered so he’s a free agent.
Dreaming for a minute based on rumors: 2B Altuve SS Pena LF Alvarez 3B Bregman RF Tucker 1B Abreu CF Nimmo/Conforto/Benintendi/Bellinger C...
I am on board with forcing young players to dominate AAA in order to get a spot in Houston. Neither Lee nor Diaz are in position to demand a...
Any other good bat makes this lineup so so deep. If they’re committed to Maldonado catching 75% of the games then that means they can really only...
Yuli would be fine playing 10-20 games each at 1B, 2B, LF, 3B, and DH. He wouldn’t be a plus defender at all those positions but he wouldn’t be...
$58.5M/3yrs
I think a minor league deal for someone like Chirinos makes sense to bring in to act as insurance if Lee/Diaz aren’t ready.
2023 projections: Abreu: .276/.349/.450, wOBA .348 Altuve: .274/.351/.460, wOBA .352 Imagine adding a hitter of Altuve’s caliber to last seasons...
One thing about potentially bringing back Gurriel in a bench role is that it means one of Hensley, Dubon, or Meyers would not have a spot on the...
Abreu was the 4th best projected hitter available in free agency (behind Judge, Nimmo, and Correa). Nimmo, Brantley, Conforto, Benintendi, Gallo,...
Awesome! He’s the perfect fit for the 6 hole in Houston’s lineup. Looks to be 3 years, so anything less than $55M is a good deal. Anything over...
I am starting to expect Abreu to go back to Chicago. His market is too hot and if he doesn’t sign elsewhere before the meetings end then I would...
Sorry man but that is a ridiculously light package going to Arizona. Swap Bielak for Hunter Brown and Maton for Bryan Abreu and it is in range....
