They've also couched many of their larger financial decisions (Keuchel, Springer, Cole) around the idea of bigger paydays (ie Correa) coming - so...
I believe it's his preference, yes. I have no inside information; just a hunch - the way he talks about the organization, its coaches, his...
I think the window for Alex Bregman playing SS has passed. He's had too many quad/groin/hamstring-style injuries.
I think that's vastly overrating the concept of selling players to a fanbase. They've shed high-end, popular talent over the years and have not...
I mean... in the grand scheme of things, it's easier to replace Correa than Verlander, in part because you can spread Correa's production around....
The only way to stop Correa from testing the market was to grossly overpay him, which they had no incentive to do. I feel very confident the...
... who is KG?
It does not speak well of this organization if it even momentarily considers playing Diaz everyday at SS.
With some uncertainty in the market, the Astros are being smart by not bidding against themselves. Correa was not going to sign with Houston...
A rich franchise kicking the tires on top free agents isn't news. Correa and Seager reps are going to be contacted by *a lot* of teams: that's...
This is how rumors get started: we’re much too loose with our language. Easy to believe the Rangers are going hard after Correa, and that’s likely...
I think many are also assuming the Astros were working with him - they may have been? But his response on Twitter seemed to indicate he was...
(Did I miss a bit? Was that all a reverse jinx act?)
Rodon's entire free agency boils down to health. If his arm is healthy, he's going to receive a very large offer. I can't see any scenario in...
They won 311 games between '17-'19 with Correa missing ~40% of their games, including a lost 2018 season in which he was below league-average....
It's an interesting thought - but would be a little short-sighted, I think. I don't believe the anger has legs beyond maybe a year or two. Plus,...
But wouldn't giving Correa a 10/$360 be a pretty big sign the times are a'changin'?
Right. I'm not sure I'd put any of those above a healthy Verlander *if I'm a good and financially stable* organization. You can likely get two...
This will also be the first draft in three years in which they've had their top 2 picks, which also severely hampered their ability to maneuver at...
Man... I never even considered Miami - but that makes *a lot* of sense. Think he doesn't want to play for Jeter? One advantage I think the Astros...
