Exactly. It’s one thing for Carlos Correa to bet on himself with opt outs when he first hits free agency in his late twenties. A 31-year old Alex...
I’d rather see if I could flip Paredes to Boston for Wilyer Abreu and reengage the Cardinals on Arenado than sign Polanco. Sure, he can switch...
There are no starting-caliber free agent outfielders available in free agency. Jurickson Profar was the last one. An outfield upgrade will have...
If I were the Astros, I’d add in some incentives that Bregman only achieves if he plays really well, such as winning MVP, receiving MVP votes,...
Alex Bregman is a grown man. After sitting in free agency for more than two months, he needs to take control of his contract negotiations. If he...
Arenado would be the only other one, and he’s not an Astros’ legend. Plus, he had his chance to join the team last month and declined.
They better close the deal. You don’t start talking after two months and not get it done again.
If the Astros traded one of the key pieces of their golden age and created a hole in their high-leverage reliever options to bring back Jason...
So the team we now know has offered Alex Bregman 4 years, 100 million is going to have a change of heart after two months and increase their offer...
Chandler Rome addresses the Bregman rumors and the Pressly trade in podcast episode earlier today. [MEDIA]
Regardless of whether you believe the recent reports about Bregman and the Astros from Chandler Rome and national MLB reporters, the Astros did...
Of course, but Bregman doesn’t have the lateral mobility to play shortstop like he did when he was younger.
I’m not an Astros’ insider, but I’m very confident the Astros didn’t trade Ryan Pressly of all players to sign an outfielder of Alex Verdugo’s...
The Astros did not trade Ryan Pressly for a prospect to sign Alex Verdugo. Most likely this signals Bregman’s return. If that doesn’t happen, it...
Schwab is such a drama queen. He knows the Astros likely plan to upgrade elsewhere after moving most of Pressly’s salary.
That suggests they have something lined up with the extra payroll flexibility. Likely Bregman but getting a prospect could help if they pursue an...
Pressly was a great Astro, and he will be missed. I hope he pitches lights out for the Cubs, except when they face the Astros.
He’s not. Ryan Pressly is only getting traded if it makes the Astros better, whether that’s resigning Bregman or the trade enables them to get a...
No, they wouldn’t. Montero makes 11.5 million this year. If they can convince a rebuilding team to take him with a prospect attached, they could...
He probably won’t be interested in such a structure. I was just saying it was one possibility.
