    Why be rude? Saying you suck. No manners?

    I cant wait for Yankees fans reactions after Bregs starts out the season hitting below the Mendoza line for the first six weeks of the season. It should be priceless.

    I think that would be the first time to see a fan base call their own player a cheater

    Luis Gil would obviously need to be included plus much more. He's a good start, but not even anywhere close to comparable value. They can't afford to give Tucker away. We desperately need a haul in return.

    Paredes and Suzuki sounds like a better starting point, but that's still not nearly enough.

    I’m not convinced we are out on Bregman, if you trade with the cubs and get parades plus Suzuki and change, then Resign Bregman - you improved your team over last year.

    I could see running it back with that unit.

    or if we still lost Bregman but then also added walker. Still a damn fine team.

    You do not have to be an Astros starting caliber player to be an MLB caliber starter.

    They literally had Beltran in the broadcast booth already.

    Not sure I want to be the one to pay Bregman.

    Happy to trade Tucker for a fair return.

    Sign Bregman. Sign Tucker. Both to Soto Deals. And let's play ball. These deals suck ass on both sides. The Yankees could pay, but they are looking to steal Tucker, so no go.

    Burnes has never been an ace. He's on the cusp. He has ace stuff. But there is still a flaw holding him back. That said, I would put him on our mound like I would put Framber on the mound. And hope for the result. Gil has potential, I do like, but when a breakout year was staring him in the face, he flinched.

    Not sure how much Tucker will be contributing in 6 years.

    That is part of the concern around the Astros. Tucker does what is asked of him, but he is a different kind of guy and baseball isn't life for him like it is some guys.

    Personally, I think I will miss Bregman more that Tucker. If they get a decent return for Tucker, I'm not opposed to trading him. I think Bregman does a lot more intangible things that will be missed more.

    The Kyle Tucker free agency.

    "I have $40M in the bank. Baseball is nice and all but I have limited time on this Earth and there's tons more to do than just play baseball. Either way I ain't flippin' burgers or going hungry. Make me an offer that has 9 digits starting with at least a 4, or I will just spend my money instead of making more."

    Anyone who knows anything about Rendon (and his history) read your comment about going after him and chuckled (thinking it was a joke). That you doubled down and were serious?? Were you smoking the whacky tobaccy when you posted that? Anyway thanks for the good laugh.
