    Awesome!

    I've wanted Christian Walker since the trade deadline last year.

    Yeah, this is good. No reason to complain about this one.

    If Walker and Paredes have years like they had in 2023, that's 64 home runs combined. I hope they can get an outfielder now.

    Walker "Texas Ranger Astro" vs LHP in 2024

    .275 avg, 4 HRs, 26 RBIs, 15 BBs, .756 OPS in 157 ABs

    His power is not there vs LHP but he gets on base and drives in runs. We needed a good 1bman to hit lefties and we found a very good one it seems.

    Nice signing....but sucks we're going to lose a 2nd and 5th round pick when we are looking to reload the minors. Also, bye bye for real Bregman.

    He's probably the best defensive 1st baseman and he has pop which we desperately need. I like it. Now we need to get a left handed outfielder.

    Wish he wasn’t 33. Reminds me of the Abreu signing

    Beyond simply comparing "mid-30s to mid-30s", show your work here.

    Astros are getting a 4th rounder for Bregman.

    So, really only losing that 2nd rounder.
