    Astros acquire Will Smith (the baseball player)

    Reliever performance is hard to predict. A reliever is proven until he isn’t. I think this was a fine trade - it’s a salary dump for next year...

    2022 Trade Targets

    Just like last year Click addressed some of the teams biggest issues and didn’t give up anyone who was going to be a difference maker.

    Astros acquire Will Smith (the baseball player)

    I don’t know if it will be easy to evaluate this trade until we see what they do next year with the money Odorizzi would have been owed. This...

    Carlos Correa to the Twins - 3 Years, $105 Million

    I’m just more interested in the explanation. It helps understand the direction the team is heading in and their philosophy on roster construction....

    Carlos Correa to the Twins - 3 Years, $105 Million

    If the Astros would have made a better offer and Boras didn’t give them that chance then he was not acting in the best interest of his client....

    Carlos Correa to the Twins - 3 Years, $105 Million

    The weird thing is, this does not seem like the best deal Correa could have gotten (even once he decided he wanted a short term deal). It also...

    Carlos Correa to the Twins - 3 Years, $105 Million

    The opt-outs being the issue seems odd. They aren’t against them as a matter of philosophy (they gave one to Verlander). They can get insurance...

    Carlos Correa to the Twins - 3 Years, $105 Million

    Verlander’s guarantee is only 2 years and for a lot less money per year, so the risk to the team is a lot lower. In Correa’s case even if he has...

    Carlos Correa to the Twins - 3 Years, $105 Million

    While I expect you are correct, Correa didn’t seem like someone who would go with emotion over logic. I would have to assume multiple other...

    Mark Berman: Astros offering Carlos Correa a 5 year/160 million dollar contract

    The post was taking about a player opt out. I don’t see Correa signing that contract with a team opt-out. I think he can get a 3 year / 130...

    Mark Berman: Astros offering Carlos Correa a 5 year/160 million dollar contract

    If you are going to go 10/330 you don’t need to give him a player opt out after year 3 and front load it like that.

    Mark Berman: Astros offering Carlos Correa a 5 year/160 million dollar contract

    This doesn’t strike me as a meet in the middle thing. From everything he’s said or done, it seems like total value and length of contract are...
