If Bregman is going to take a pillow contract it needs to be a front loaded long term deal with an opt out. He is entering his age 31 season, has...
He’s had attitude problems with prior teams. He is also not a great fielder. But he can hit.
I’m starting to come around more to giving Taylor Trammell a shot as the strong side of a LF platoon (paired with Meyers or Dubon). He projects...

5 off-the-radar potential Astros OF trade targets: MJ Melendez (Royals) Brendan Donovan (Cardinals) Jake Fraley (Reds) Jesus Sanchez (Marlins)...
I think the Astros also offered Matt Dominguez an extension that he rejected. I actually think Grossman’s career would have gone much better had...
Man the pitching injuries are just so impactful. Can you imagine if all 3 of McCullers, Javier, and Garcia had been healthy and productive to end...
I’m surprised the Nats haven’t been linked to Bregman, if they are trying to compete he’d be a good fit for them as a good veteran player who can...
I still think he will get 5 years and over $100M and not have to go for a pillow contract. My guess is $130M/5yrs.
Josh Bell gets $6M/1yr from the Nats. Thats probably within a couple mil of what that entire group of veteran position players (Canha, Turner,...
Thinking about this some more, I think it’d be better (and slightly more realistic) to do the Baltimore trade but take out Meyers and Mullins (so...
Caratini and Pressly would clear $21M off the books. From what I’ve seen Houston is <$5M below the CBT threshold so they’d be limited to a ~$25M...
I’m actually not sure how that works. I assume that as long as they retain his rights they can’t trade him along with his contract but I could be...
Yes, Paredes would play mostly LF. If Breggy came back it would look like this: C: Diaz 70%, Caratini 30% 1B: Walker 90%, Paredes 10% 2B: Altuve...
I think Crane extended the largest contract offer in franchise history to Bregman, and said “this is the most we will offer; it’s more than we are...
The Red Sox are looking to offload Masataka Yoshida. Houston would need to believe he could play the field, but he’d be a good add to the lineup....
Their OF would be Tyler O’Neill, Colton Cowser, and either Jake Meyers or Coby Mayo. All under control for 3+ years. Kjerstad and O’Hearn are...
He is gonna have to eat some humble pie in terms of salary expectations. But he desperately wants 300 wins so he will only sign with a team that...
Some Framber hypotheticals for the teams that missed out on Corbin Burnes: Blue Jays get: SP Framber Valdez RP Ryan Pressly Astros get: P Trey...
Tucker’s place in Astros history sits among of the group of “really good players” such as George Springer, Ken Caminiti, Richard Hidalgo, Glenn...
