All is well with me. Thanks for asking. Jabari, Steven Adams, Tate, Jeff Green and picks for Fox works. But, if Fox is acquired, VanVleet moves...
Dana Brown has egg on his face from when he went on SportsTalk 790 and confidently declared the Astros would be able to extend Kyle Tucker in his...
They aren’t getting Amen. VanVleet, Jabari Smith Jr. and picks is realistic.
Absolutely. De’Aaron Fox is a more proven, consistent version of Jalen Green. I’m happy Jalen is playing well, but it was less than a year ago...
I think the most likely deal is VanVleet, Jabari and picks for Fox. The Kings need a stretch PF that defends next to Sabonis so they can move...
Jimmy Butler is not a fit for this Rockets’ team. He doesn’t address their biggest weakness, perimeter shooting, and do you really think Udoka...
While this sounds great in theory, it’s the last thing Brown should do if the team wants Bregman back.
If the Rockets don’t get involved, I’d worry a lot about the Spurs pairing Wemby with Fox. They have a lot of picks to play with and young talent...
Abreu had a lot of red flags in his hitting profile. Most notably, a precipitous home run decline especially in the second half of the 2022...
Christian Walker at 3/60 is by far the best move the Astros made this offseason. He’s the best defensive first baseman in baseball and has had an...
To me, a plus bat and impact bat are one and the same. It’s just semantics. For five million, Polanco would be fine as a depth piece with upside.
Thanks for the information. It’s a reasonable number considering his track record and poor 2024 season.
What a great win! Three straight over the Cavs and Celtics. I hope Stone finds a way to add some shooting to the roster by next Thursday’s...
I don’t have an issue with bringing Polanco in as a depth piece with upside. But, certainly not at anywhere near $10M in AAV. If I was going to...
Then, as I said, paying Polanco or Verdugo a few million at most with incentives for hitting well is fine. But, there’s no way I’m giving Jorge...
I’m not betting anywhere near 10M in AAV that a guy who hit .198 with a .646 OPS against RHP last year is my answer for a significant left-handed...
If Alex Verdugo can’t crack a .300 OBP and .700 OPS playing half his games in a park that is very friendly for left-handed hitters, I’ll let some...
If I could get Polanco for a couple million at most, I’d consider it. But, he’s not my idea of an impactful left-handed bat, especially when he...
I’d prefer the Astros try to sign or trade for good players. Both Verdugo and Polanco had an OPS under .700 last year and OBP’s under .300....
Agreed. I’m just saying opt outs make sense for younger elite free agents with depressed markets. They don’t make nearly as much sense for above...
