What have you seen from the current regime that makes you think they won't be giving up a king's ransom for anyone?!

NGL, I borrowed this for a tweet.
Sorry if it's been mentioned already in this thread, but what do y'all think we could get for Chas McCormick? Maybe a team bets on his prior...
If Dezenzo can maintain a relatively good OPS in AAA the remainder of this season, is he the Astros' opening day starter at third base next season?
Yikes! I get that he’s a good talent, but dude JUST had Tommy John surgery. If this signing costs them Powell, I’ll be disappointed. Obviously,...
I realize that Powell (6) will require an over-slot bonus, but it seems like we've saved enough across the board to have extra money left over...
Not surprisingly, Smith signs for way under slot, opening up a good amount of money in the bonus pool. What are the odds the Astros are able to...
With the new TV deal coming in, teams are planning for the cap to increase a little faster than player raises annually. Hence, these contracts...

1). What Aruba said. 2). Yes, I included incomplete roster charges. 3). Yes, moving out Brooks for no salary - on top of Jalen and keeping FVV...
I assume you mean letting go of all team options EXCEPT the (non-Jalen) Core7. They could have FVV (at $27M on a new deal), Brooks, Sengun's cap...
This is incorrect. Jalen’s cap hold will be around $37.5M. If they’re keeping Jalen (but not FVV), they’d have closer to $30M in room.
If a player is not under contract on July 1, he's deemed a free agent. B'vakashah. Err, you're welcome!
