Ty France elected free agency. He sucks in general but can we sign him just so he doesnt own us any longer?

Meh. It's just a fancy 1yr extension.

I would like to see the contact structure. I'm about to try to do something similar for a business client that is one year into a three year agreement. (But I wanna add to it)

Does the client’s fastball still sit 98/99?

He needs another year if they want him to do menial things like cover first base.

I'll add that to my interest list for negotiations. When they ask for a discount, I'll ask for a power innings eater.

Makes sense, he had another injury season with a sub .800 OPS.

I think they'd change their starting rotation more

I am still wondering why Brandon Belt got black balled last season. His 2023 wasn't atrocious.

Yeah, 2023 Belt on the 2024 Astros would have been a huge improvement.  Even midyear after we dumped Abreu I wish we would have signed him.  I'm not sure how I'm going to handle another year of Singleton taking 75% of the atbats at 1B.

He's about 20MM higher. And again the next time Schwab is right will be the first 

I'm at Academy on 290. They have the jacket, too, so it's probably everywhere in Houston.

hello southside chicago !

One year deal, hmm, won't even get to see them move to Nashville.

Word on the street is the Astros offer to Bregman was $156M/6yrs and was based on topping what Matt Chapman signed for with the Giants; Chapman is a year older but is coming off a better year.  It is a “competitive” offer although I will be shocked if Bregman accepts it.

It will be interesting.  I don't think there's gonna be a huge market for him because of the awful starts.  Good luck to a gm explaining to their fan base that it's completely normal for their new 30 million dollar 3rd basemen to bat .200 for the first couple months of every season.

his slow starts grow longer and longer every season 

curious how much boras will push him to chase the biggest offer vs best fit

If he does it won't be for a while

I’m okay letting him walk if he wants more than that.  Maybe that pushes the Astros to be more aggressive with Tucker to either extend or trade.  

Who the fuck keeps scouring the Yankees roster looking for castoffs?  This is one of those bucket of balls trades.

That's "2024 World Series champion Taylor Trammell" to you peons.

Now go get Ahmed or Rosario to play 3B...

If it wasn't for the 40 man requirement, I would have initially assumed they traded for him to fill out Sugarland's roster.

You missed his strikeout numbers.  They're really good.

Trammell is a lefty bat who has hit righties fairly well and can play CF.  Might be a good platoon mate for Meyers or McCormick.  One interesting thing is that he’s out of options.  Cabbage, who was DFA to make room (and claimed by the Pirates) still had an option remaining (and had some experience at 1B).  As long as it was just minimal cash going to NY then it’s a fine swap.  But it does look like they expect him to make the opening day roster.

This guy might be ok against righties when he doesn't strike out because of what he did 2-3 seasons ago in 300 ABs is rather bold way to improve your lineup.
