If the Rockets gave up Jabari Smith Jr., salary filler and one of their seven picks for Durant, that wouldn’t crush their future plans. They are...
Eason was out for a month, missing 12 or 13 games. He will not play one game of a back to back for the remainder of this season, at a minimum.
Kevin Durant is aging much better than Paul George because Durant is one of the best shooters in NBA history. He has career shooting percentages...
They need another bat that can play either outfield, second base (moving Altuve to left field) or third base (moving Paredes to second base and...
Dubon would because his defense is elite there.
Carlos Beltran, the ring leader of the scandal, is going to be inducted next year on his fourth ballot. Therefore, I don’t see the scandal...
The scandal doesn’t mean he isn’t a lock. Fans of opposing teams may hate Altuve’s guts, but nearly every media member (those who vote on the Hall...
The Red Sox aren’t going to get anyone to take Yoshida’s full contract. They are going to have to pay a significant portion of his contract to...
I agree about the offense needing another bat, but the Astros rotation is as good as it was before they traded for Kikuchi. Hunter Brown was...
Altuve is not likely for Cooperstown. He is a lock.
Not only this, but Christian Walker turns 34 on March 28. I can’t imagine the Astros don’t want to field the strongest team possible within...
Christian Walker is every bit as good as what Alex Bregman gave the Astros last season. He’s had an .OPS above .800 each of the previous three...
Agreed. If the move is a pitcher, the Astros need to get him into camp as soon as possible to start ramping up for opening day. If it’s a bat,...
You very well could be right, since pitchers and catchers report today and nothing significant has been done to address the outfield all...
I’m speaking in terms of facts. The Astros had the third highest payroll in MLB in 2024 at 251,000,000. In 2023, they were seventh at 237,000,000....
He got a very creative contract structure, too. 3 million signing bonus, 1 million salary this year, 19 million in year two, 18 million in year 3...
Agreed about Breslow and Cora finding an amenable compromise regarding Bregman. Also, you can never have too much pitching, but Brown has to...
The Red Sox clearly caved at the last minute. They’ll be looking to move Yoshida now, even if they have to pay a lot of his salary.
The offense is good enough through the six spot in the lineup. Seven through nine is very weak. One more bat would go a long way.
I completely agree. I’m disappointed that none of Correa, Bregman or Tucker remained Astros for life next to Altuve, but Crane is not cheap and...
