November 24, 20205 yr I think if the Astros are looking to bring in some rotation reclamation projects, Michael Wacha and Trevor Williams would be 2 decent candidates. I also would like them to try and get Aaron Sanchez back as well.

November 24, 20205 yr Glad to CFM cashing in. He was great in Tampa we win a 2nd WS if we would have kept him

While the suspensions were for other reasons, I’m going to convince myself Luhnow’s was punishment for not re-signing Morton and Hinch’s was punishment for pulling the guy Luhnow traded for to make up for his error in not re-signing Morton. ...nope didn’t work. I’m still fucking pissed

November 24, 20205 yr Author I thought I had an extensive back and forth on here expecting to see Correa shopped, but must have been season thread or else maybe on crawfish boxes. Oh well. Let’s just say I’m not surprised to see Correa being shopped, even though that and Springer are both heartbreaking.

December 1, 20205 yr First thought was it was an Eskimo league where he would be Nolan Ryan, then realized it was Japan...where he will still suck
December 1, 20205 yr Could potentially be a few more OF guys added to the FA list tomorrow. Schwarber, Pham, Rosario to name a few.

December 1, 20205 yr I would love to get Eddie Rosario. If you project last season over 150 games played, he's averaged around 30 HR for the last 4 seasons, and he just turned 29. I feel like he could just about replace Springer's production.

Straight up claim him off waivers and deal with ARB price. Probably cheaper than resigning Brantley.
December 2, 20205 yr Nice goodbye message from Reddick https://www.instagram.com/p/CIR7vyLsDF7/?igshid=pnbec8n7axbl
December 2, 20205 yr I know he was a favorite whipping boy around here, but I will miss Reddick. I appreciate those moments he gave us, especially with his defense, and I love Jett's defense of all things Woooston. Jett Reddick and Ashley McHugh are my favorite Astros wags because they take no shit online from opposing fanbases and can dish it out.
December 3, 20205 yr I am ready for Reddick to go, but yeah I always appreciated that he gave max effort all the time. Will be cool to see him back during the 20 year reunion of the 2017 championship team if I haven't drank myself to death by then.
December 4, 20205 yr per Stros411.com :: SPRINGER NEWS (we’ll sorta) @mikelucianosup reported on FanSided that the Blue Jays used Cavan Biggio in their pitch to George Springers team in their presentation to encourage him to come up North. @LockedOnAstros #astrostwitter It’s also believed that the Mets are going after Springer very aggressively and Jake Odorozzi. Possible contract in the 200 million range for 5-7 years. (This is speculation and rumor, but the stove is heating up.) Unfortunately we know it’s an inevitable conclusion that Springer plays for the Mets or Blue Jays. Red Sox a distant 3rd. Home and family in Connecticut a strong pull. I think Mets present a win now option more so than the Blue Jays.

December 6, 20205 yr I hope he gets it because I love him, but that is a crazy contract for a dude who most likely isn't going to age gracefully. I think he's likely to drop off a cliff once he starts losing bat speed.

I'd be stunned if anyone gives Springer close to $200MM. I'd expect something in the 5 yr/$120MM ballpark. But we'll see, I suppose.
