December 2, 20223 yr Author Throw them $2mil each, if our international signing budget allows it. Have yordan (and hopefully yuli) deliver their checks hmm, if they’re free agents, they don’t count against your international players allowance ? Edited December 2, 20223 yr by tx 3 putt

All international amateur players are free agents and count towards each team’s signing budget. That announcement is just MLB making them eligible to join the pool.

December 2, 20223 yr I wonder, in a philosophical sense, if a guy like Castro or Brantley feels like they are a world champ after missing half the year and all the playoffs while being in their walk year and maybe not coming back to the team. I know they get a ring, but I wonder how they feel?
December 2, 20223 yr Brantley contributed and was a starter until he got hurt, so I would think he feels like he earned it.

December 2, 20223 yr Now we can all go to Baseball Savant and form immediate, fully informed, infallible opinions on this dude.
December 2, 20223 yr But hey, at least we know Bagwell ain’t interim GM because there’s no way he’s heard of this dude

Also the impact the speech apparently had that he gave in the world series is enough imo.

December 3, 20223 yr I think I am a pretty knowledgeable fan when it comes to recognizing who players are league wide because i watch so many games not just Astros, play fantasy baseball, and am into sports collectibles (baseball cards etc) and I have never fucking heard of this loser fuck.

December 3, 20223 yr Lulz at the Rangers. 5 years to DeGrom ($37M AAV). Holy fuck, that contract is really shitty.

December 3, 20223 yr You could probably say the Astros have had 3 of the top 20 Left Fielders wear the uniform between Lance Berkman, Jose Cruz, & Luis Gonzalez

December 3, 20223 yr And the Astros greatest claim to fame 6 of the top 30 pitchers Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens, Justin Verlander, Curt Schilling, Nolan Ryan, & Zack Greinke

December 3, 20223 yr This was the text to my buddy from Rochester who is a huge Yankees & Bills fan "I guess the Rump Rangers are so sick of the Yankees taking their scrubs they are bound and determined to prove to the Yankees how shitty contracts are really signed."

December 3, 20223 yr I like that signing for them more than the Seager signing last year. Any year DeGrom is healthy he will likely be worth that. They are a big market team and make plenty of money from their tv deal, way more than us. i mean- he will probably pitch 300 innings over the course of that deal and fuck them big time, but it’s not a bad contract or number if healthy.

Would you make that bet?
December 3, 20223 yr Just now, rvm96 said: Why not Rodon? If Rodon is really signing for 5/120 or something like that which I saw that’s a steal imo. If we didn’t sign Contreras I’d be all about doing that Rodon deal if that’s all he gets. I suspect he gets more.
December 3, 20223 yr Just now, David Dennison said: Would you make that bet? If I was them? Maybe. They have to overpay for big talent. They can’t get a guy like Abreu to sign 3/58 deals because they are a joke. If they can get into the WC then maybe they can start filling in with some more mid tier guys and not have to overpay. They are on a fast track to nowhere and have the money. Their opportunity costs are low enough I might make that bet.

If Altuve stacks some more big years 3 of top 10 or 12. Bidge could arguably be considered 9th or 10th best 2B ever. Edited December 3, 20223 yr by Wulaw Horn

December 3, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, tx 3 putt said: We don’t need Contreras We didn’t need Abreu either but he fills a hole (or 3) really well for reasonable money that we have, so, why not?
