Just to be clear, I'm fine if the Rockets upgrade FVV. I wanted Fox. I still want Booker if Phoenix is reasonable. I'm not fine stepping down to...
I'm guessing it will be in the $20-30M AAV range. The amount between those numbers likely doesn't matter too much for the Rockets roster's first...
So a PG that is low to moderate usage, provides catch and shoot threes, provides defense, and gets offense organized while letting the younger...
Games like this remind me of the winter of 2017-2018. There was a polar vortex sending cold weather down south. This forum was littered with...
The obvious choice is to maximize value in 2025, 2026, and maybe 2027. Trading Tucker for Paredes makes sense as the Astros are getting so much...
Sandoval was still a minor leaguer. Hader, Houser, Phillips and Santana were all young players with a ton of control. Trading a MLB player with a...
1 WAR in 600 PAs and 1 WAR in 300 PAs is still 1 WAR. Even assuming Caratini would fetch a player as if he were a 450 PA catcher only yields 1.5...
What trade did Luhnow send a quality MLB player out for a similar value player at another position? Most of his trades were MLB players for...
The going rate for WAR is over $6M/1 WAR. If you spend $6M on a full time player, you would likely get about 0.6 WAR on average. You might get...
To me, it appears the Astros went after guys with high spin rates in the draft and IFA. Other teams prioritized fastball velocity. Adding spin is...
On a side note: It sure is odd how every good team in the AL besides the Astros had their pitching staffs fall apart when MLB started looking for...
That Astros team was great. I'd say Yuli was hot in the postseason, and Chas was actually played over the 0.208 BA and under club. I think the 106...
Bregman's contract ended. He wasn't let go. I find it weird that people think a team should get something in addition to the service they paid the...
Crane paid the tax, but still let Correa, Springer, Verlander, Cole, and Bregman walk and kicked Tucker out the door a year before free agency. It...
I'm not sure on OKC. JW and Chet are RFAs after next season. SGA will get Supermax a season after that. I'm guessing OKC can't afford all three...
[MEDIA] Also known as the Rockets and FVV have agreed to a deal if the option is declined, but FVV is willing to be traded if it means he gets...
Getting better on offense is not controversial if the goal post is winning the title. I don't deny that. Your post was explicit on contending in...
This doesn't happen often. If it does, I'm fine with it. I get that rare things happen. I just don't think they should be planned. More effort...
Caratini makes $6M. Caratini's contract is up at the end of this season. The Astros can't lose him after this season for nothing as the Astros...
