If we aren’t getting Tatis Jr in return I’m going to be fucking pissed. 
 

We’re getting Justin Lange, rookie ball pitcher from fucking Llano, TX. Had a 7.00 ERA last year. Fucking christ.

You got a problem with Llano?

They're orange and black, even though their mascot is the yellowjackets.  I've always had a problem with that.

I assume this is the Lange that pitched at LSU.  

It’s more a problem with a front office that thinks it’s a good idea to build a roster barely good enough to fight for a 2nd wild card spot.

Nope. Went straight from the mighty Orange&Blackjackets to the minors. 

So self-serving. So tone-deaf

Delicious tears in the Astros thread right now for anyone into that. None of them would ever leave a job for more money.

Kenley to the Braves 

“where was this last year” -Astros fan

He was awesome last year.  He had his ups and downs, but was a warrior and a hell of a closer for a long time.  He will be missed.

If the Astros resign Correa then here is the projected WAR,

That’s OK, when we don’t resign Trea Turner after next year, he can opt out and come play for us.

Ok I forgot we aren’t starting March 31 anymore. Freeman and Story will be signed, Correa will hold out until late April. Don’t feel confident enough to bet on it but it’s what my intuition is saying. 

Good to see that Helo’s intuition is, once again, right on track

Kinda baffling how the Twins will spend, but CLE and CWS just sit there with their dicks in their hands.

The CWS will be better than the Twins for the entirety of Carlos Correa's contract.

As usual you get it wrong. The thought was “why would the twins offer him a better deal than the Astros would/why didn’t we match”. Don’t let reality get in the way of the voices in your head.

And a lot of us have no problem with Astros not matching the Twins deal. They're kind of at his mercy if they need to move him in 2023.

That’s true too. But literally nobody in that thread said what he claimed we did.  It one single person said “boo hoo why would correa go to Minnesota for more money?”  “We are simps that don’t understand this is a business”.

We had to watch Seager go, which hurt.  But it’s all about the sum of the parts.  The key will be to see if the Astros use that free’d up money to fill multiple other spots or if Crane just pockets it.

Yep. There was no doubt y’all were going to repurpose it and do it incredibly intelligently. We will see if Crane does. Looks like it would have to be at the deadline if he’s going to make a major decision to do something big to move the needle.

Right, I understand that but it's hard to think the Astros weren't close to that offer and he has such a bond with his teammates and Astros fans that anything close should have kept him in Houston for the short term at least.

Literally almost nobody. His framing was trash. I slightly exaggerated the zeitgeist of 150 posts for dramatic effect.

So my daughter is graduating with a master's this summer with a specialization in biomechanics, and the Rangers, Red Sox, and Yankees all have Biomechanics Analysts jobs open that sound like they were written exactly for her.  

"Dad, would you really be OK with me working for the Yankees?"

"I'd find a way."

But I'm way more excited about this than I should be, because right now she's more interested in a job at some lab at Pitt.

I like Granato but he’s a clown and a drunk. Guy on clutch fans vouches for him and says Granato is tight with a guy in Correa’s inner circle. Who knows the reality on that.

I would assume that info came from Boras, and I have no idea why he'd try to stir up shit after Correa signed.

That’s super cool. I studied exercise physiology in grad school and thought about going to biomechanics (another discipline in our dept) but never did. Wish I had and I do think biomechanical analysis the next big thing in sports analytics.

I wouldn’t see Granato being on Boras distribution list. Granato earlier in 2021 season claimed correa was asking for 7 or 8 for 200 before the 2021 season. He’s allegedly got a source outside of Boras so it’s not Boras leaking shit I don’t think. He wouldn’t deal with local media he’d deal with national guys I would bet.

3/$36M for Soler to Miami. 

I hope he got trade protection (doubtful), because they'll be 6 games back at the AS break and be ready to trade him.

Not only did the Yankees sign a 2017 Astros player they signed the third ringleader of the trash can shit(Beltran, Cora other two).

Good signing. Story can play 2B this season then move to SS next year when Bogaerts opts out. 

Feel bad for the bald guys this spring training

Granato is a genius. He works what, 3 hours a day and drinks Coors Light/plays golf the rest of the time. 

And his work is talking about gambling and sports. But, he has to wake up at like 4:30 so maybe not genius. 
but, he’s married to a local cbs channel president that’s pretty good looking and makes more than him, so, back to genius.
