I agree with you that Brantley at $16M in AAV and Gurriel at $8M are incredible value, and those types of values along with Verlander and Greinke...
Justin Verlander is a starting pitcher. Pitchers are far more likely in MLB to suffer season-ending and career-altering injuries because of the...
I’d be willing to go 9 or 10 years, with years 9 and 10 being team options. Point is, there are ways to structure a long-term deal that makes...
While things are uncertain, I highly doubt they make drastic changes to the arbitration/free agency model, other than ensuring teams stop jerking...
I’m not that worried about contracts past 2024 because there is no way Altuve’s next extension approaches $29M in his age 35 season and if Bregman...
Correa turned 27 on September 22. If the Astros offer him an 8-year deal, he would turn 35 years old near the end of final month of the contract....
This is simply not true. For 2022, the Astros payroll without Correa sits between 135-140M. C: Maldonado and Castro about 9.25M combined 1B:...
It’s the World Series and neither team got there by luck. If the Astros want to win this series, they’ll have to play really well. To do it in...
Before last season, I didn’t really see Correa returning because of the injury issues and the contract he would seek. However, my opinion of him...
Adding to your point, it wasn’t Maldonado’s decision to go with a breaking-ball-heavy strategy to start the series. That was a team-wide decision...
What makes you think Scherzer was willing to waive his no-trade clause to come here? He wanted to be in California, with the Dodgers. Otherwise,...
This is embarrassing. The Astros’ pitching and defense needs to nut up tomorrow and play like they are capable of. Being down 8-0 and 9-0 by...
That’s why you have Brantley, Alvarez, Bregman, Gurriel and Tucker. You can’t pitch around the first seven hitters in the Astros’ lineup.
The Astros are nowhere near the luxury tax line for 2022, even with a resigned Correa at $30-35 million, and they can be under in 2023 once...
10 years, somewhere in the neighborhood of 300-350 million. He’s worth more than Lindor, who got 10 years, 341M from the Mets. I understood...
PAY THE MAN, Crane! Period. Otherwise, you will piss away a lot of the good will you have built during this amazing run with Astros’ fans. Make...
McCullers in game 4 is an easy choice. The question is do you trust Urquidy against a right-handed heavy lineup in game 4 or Framber in a rematch...
Sorry, I thought you were saying it was HPU’s fault for swinging this game in the White Sox favor. After the game became 9-6 in the 4th after the...
That said, Go Astros. Let’s end this series today.
That one call directly led to a five-run inning by the White Sox. If Grandal was rung up, like he should have been, and Jimenez grounds out like...
