November 1, 20241 yr Ty France elected free agency. He sucks in general but can we sign him just so he doesnt own us any longer?

November 2, 20241 yr He needs another year if they want him to do menial things like cover first base.

November 2, 20241 yr Or hell sign Suarez or whoever.15m option picked up by Dbacks....he ain't going anywhere

November 2, 20241 yr 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.
November 3, 20241 yr He's about 20MM higher. And again the next time Schwab is right will be the first

November 3, 20241 yr I'm at Academy on 290. They have the jacket, too, so it's probably everywhere in Houston.

November 4, 20241 yr 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.
November 4, 20241 yr 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.

Maybe that pushes the Astros to be more aggressive with Tucker to either extend or trade.
November 4, 20241 yr Who the fuck keeps scouring the Yankees roster looking for castoffs? This is one of those bucket of balls trades. Edited November 4, 20241 yr by kevwun

November 4, 20241 yr If it wasn't for the 40 man requirement, I would have initially assumed they traded for him to fill out Sugarland's roster. 1 minute ago, tx 3 putt said: 😂😂😂 AB AVG HR RBI SB OPS 311 .167 15 39 4 .633 You missed his strikeout numbers. They're really good.
November 4, 20241 yr 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.
November 4, 20241 yr 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. Edited November 4, 20241 yr by kevwun
