The Astros should make the ALCS, but I’m worried about Toronto’s pitching in a 5 game series.
Any insight into why the Astros would be hesitant to discuss an extension with Javier? There's a strong argument he's the second best pitcher on...
Pena: .700 OPS, 97 OPS+ Correa: .831 OPS, 138 OPS+ Peña’s had a solid rookie season (particularly defensively) and the Astros made the right call...
Good to see Altuve healthy enough to be back in the lineup already. More than any other player, he's the barometer for how the Astros are playing...
Machete!
I was answering the question that the FO decides the roster, not the manager.
Yes. Dusty likely has some input, but the FO ultimately decides who makes the roster.

No one predicted them to be this good. Pretty much everything I saw prior to the season predicted the Astros to win the division with a win total...
Reliever performance is hard to predict. A reliever is proven until he isn’t. I think this was a fine trade - it’s a salary dump for next year...
Just like last year Click addressed some of the teams biggest issues and didn’t give up anyone who was going to be a difference maker.
I don’t know if it will be easy to evaluate this trade until we see what they do next year with the money Odorizzi would have been owed. This...
I’m just more interested in the explanation. It helps understand the direction the team is heading in and their philosophy on roster construction....
If the Astros would have made a better offer and Boras didn’t give them that chance then he was not acting in the best interest of his client....
The weird thing is, this does not seem like the best deal Correa could have gotten (even once he decided he wanted a short term deal). It also...
The opt-outs being the issue seems odd. They aren’t against them as a matter of philosophy (they gave one to Verlander). They can get insurance...
Verlander’s guarantee is only 2 years and for a lot less money per year, so the risk to the team is a lot lower. In Correa’s case even if he has...
While I expect you are correct, Correa didn’t seem like someone who would go with emotion over logic. I would have to assume multiple other...
The post was taking about a player opt out. I don’t see Correa signing that contract with a team opt-out. I think he can get a 3 year / 130...
If you are going to go 10/330 you don’t need to give him a player opt out after year 3 and front load it like that.
