Mason and Green were dealt for 6th round picks. That is not a bad use of resources, imo. If the criticism is that they should have traded for...
To be really fair to Nick... Green is his only big swing & miss on the OL, IMO. The Mason deal was defensible - he just got old really quick. I'm...
I think the correct answer is: It's great the Texans have Will Anderson. And the Texans paid a lot for Will Anderson. Anderson is a...
Sure. It wasn't meant to be definitive - just an illustration of how much they paid for Will Anderson.
There was no magic - they essentially gave up three first round picks for Anderson (12 & 33 in '23; 27 in '24) + the 90th overall pick, which is...
Absofreakinglutely. According to Forbes, the Texans are worth $6.1B. In 2012, they were worth ~$1.5B. There is no need for counties or taxpayers -...
........... I don't really like any of them. I think the navy is way too dark, and, generally, I'm not a huge fan of dark-on-dark - the H-Town...
It sure seems like, for a lot of fans, every player released is suddenly IDEAL for the Texans/Astros/Rockets to sign. I always err on the side...
The Mets haven't won a championship in nearly 40 years. Until last year, this Dodgers' run has mostly been marked by them specifically *not*...
Right. There are 8 teams projected to spend less than $100M this year; only 2 are projected to spend $300+M. Average spending is $158M - 17 teams...
I can't fathom how a player maximizing value equals being a greedy, selfish b*stard. No human being is going to discount themselves in the present...
My intended point is a little broader - there are no restrictions when it comes to spending - there's no salary cap and the CBT penalties are not...
This is all true, to a degree. But none of these owners are poor. They're generating revenue and team values are going up - way up - and certainly...
You're leaving out what I think is an important part of this equation: depending on service time, owners can grossly underpay superstar players...
TBF... Bregman isn't here, and Altuve is playing LF. It sure as heck looks like that decision was happening, regardless of where Bregman signed -...
Why? I mean, to some degree, there's some truth to it - you'd like to roll out 8 everyday players. But I don't think there's any harm in pairing...
It does feel a little loop-hole-y; I suspect MLB feels the same way and will address it - because doesn't it impact the CBT and allow owners to...
The Astros do not "have" to follow a business plan. Any and every team can spend like the Dodgers or Mets. There is nothing stopping them. We...
He's getting $26MM/year, yes - but, also, having his right to negotiate a longer, more lucrative deal taken from him. We need to stop villainizing...
I don't think there's any chance they cut Kenyon Green. He would not save them any cap space, and they almost certainly want new coaching to see...
