So if we add Cruz and intend to play Tucker/Reddick in RF.... Which players must go? White? Kemp? Marisnick? All of the above?
Agreed. We would have been around 190 mil. I expect about 200 mil this year.
I wonder if that went anywhere?
I’m guessing we are offering MLB ready players like Kemp, Reddick and White, along with Bukauskas and Martin.
The Astros definitely need to make some moves with our current outfield situation. We can’t carry Brantley, Reddick, Marisnick, Springer, Kemp,...
We didn’t sign Brantley to start Kemp or Marisnick.
Our payroll stood at 185 mil last year, and we tried to add Harper last year. If the #s I see are right and we are only at 150 now, we are going...

The link I provided shows a total investment of 150 mill including all arbitration and other fees. Your numbers reflect a 29 mil difference. I’d...

There’s no way that we only have 25 mil to spend. I’m going to have to run #s on this tonight. We’ve lost a ton of players and have only gained 3...
Kemp DH?
He said that was a previous offer. No source sited or date of offer rejected.
