A’s won’t trade with Houston
Nope. He doesn’t deserve taking up $$ for Altuve, Bregman, Tucker or Valdez either and butchering the lineup. Great hitter (as a catcher, sure)...
You’d pay Contreras 4/84 to catch 40 games and be an average DH/1B/LF guy here and there? I’d rather have JV on 2/84 and not risk being able too...
He’d be almost as much of a waste of money as Contreras
Better sign a LH hitting outfielder. Gotta have three in the lineup the bulk of the season. And not create a disaster with Contreras in LF for way...
How about just give Lee the Astros #1 prospect time too develop into the star he can become and also learn under Maldonado’s wing for atleast a...
Id like to imagine he banded it up before meeting with Abreu
he hit 22 homeruns and Maldonado hit 15. It’s not huge and you factor in Maldy behind the plate and yeah it’s barely an upgrade. And it takes a...
And not having three left handed bats with the shift being banned is not good roster management.
Hes barely an upgrade of Maldonado
He’s projected at 4/80
Don’t spend 80 mil on him either at the risk of losing Altuve, Bregman, Tucker, Valdez, etc. Astros need a third left hand bat. Contreras just...
Things left too address. -LH hitting OF/DH. Need three LH bats in the lineup in a season where no shift means LH hitting is gold. I don’t think...
Increase the toxic hate.
Pena isnt moving from hitting second, certainly not now. Altuve (R) Pena (R) Alvarez (L) Bregman (R) Tucker (L) Abreu (R) Benentendi/Brantley...
Contreras was never important. And thats why Crane kicked Click out on his ass in the cold.
Depends how deep into the tax Crane is willing to go. And he's gone deep before.
The more time that passes and the more references of him on AEW tv, the more I think this whole CM Punk/Elite “fight” was a genius work created...
Maybe, Maybe not. Left hand bats may become gold without the shift. Part of the reason Astros have strong interest in left hand corner...
wouldn’t expect much as he’s 31 and hasn’t had a huge season. That said I’d rather sign Abreu and hold onto as many potential gold prospects too...
