If Luhnow offered 125/5 Cole would sign. It’d be idiotic for Luhnow not to jump on that.

Of course Cole would sign for that.  But Luhnow's not gonna offer it.  And frankly, he's probably right.  Contracts like that can mess a team up for a long time and not everybody ages like JV.  Try $75M for 3 years and see if he'll bite.

He's likely to get more than that. Corbin just got $140 million this past offseason.

The Astros are built on finding the next Cole and letting less forward thinking organizations overpay for the last one.

Last time we were in Cleveland, Yuli was batting 4th, MarGo was in LF, Kemp was the DH... and Sparky was getting wet after that offense scored 11 runs.

And in 2019, our advanced scout team fared pretty well there earlier this month as well

Other than a lowball offer by Luhnow/Crane, the thing that hurts our chances of signing Cole may just be a ring in 2019.

I’ll take it.

i made a post addressing this yesterday, but if you're going short term (2-3 years) you're gonna have to flirt with ~$40mm per.

you can offer 3-120 and say, hey, you'll be 31-32 and you can still get another contract.

Yes and yes

So I've seen somebody here say Cole might take 5/125, and someone else argue that a 3 year deal would need to be at $120m.

The trade deadline can’t get here soon enough, IE the clickbait and rumors can’t end soon enough.

He'll sign for more than 5/125. He'll get closer to $200 million than $125 million.

i think he'll look for 6+ years.  if you want a short deal, you gotta pay for it.  my post was in response to the 3-75 speculation.

Why is Bregman batting cleanup

Don’t wanna waste his power at leadoff?

This. If he gets a ring here this year, it will be alllll about maximizing $$$ in the off-season.

I thought we were gonna score in every inning the rest of the season with this lineup.

WTF

Why is Bregman batting cleanup

His ability to walk and Yordan’s RBI prowess protecting him.
I like it
Like a 2nd leadoff guy halfway through the lineup

Ump had a wide strike zone.

They will adjust.

That last pitch to batter 2, was gross.

Don't you know the Mets are contenders

AJ wants to get Pro Hitter and Air as many ABs as possible but also break up their lefty bats, Bregman is ideal for that spot.

Ya that’s what the announcers said. Primarily to break up the lefties.

This is at A+ Fayetteville btw

If the Bauer trade discussions are true, do y’all think management talked to some players to see how they’d feel? Cole and Bregs seem to really dislike him.

Yeah, I would think they’d do/have done the same thing they did with Osuna last year.... although that seemed a bit of a token ask of the players from what I recall.

There's no way Luhnow hasn't already talked with Hinch and the boys about this.

I doubt seriously he’s coming here. I know the local radio heads today were completely convinced it would never happen. So maybe it will. 😁

Whitley trade value rising, making it less likely Luhnow will trade him.

Will he be here in September?

I hope that party at Joe Smiths was worth not scoring the first 4 innings with the best lineup in the history of the franchise.....you guys are being a disgrace.

Should have about 13 runs by now

It’s a trap.

Is there a 'Stros Trade Deadline thread? 
You're in it
