If you know that the teams interested in Stanton are likely your playoff competition for the next decade then showing interest makes sense. At a...
Would you pay 15M for McCann? I wouldn’t but I see no obvious replacement at the moment....
I thought it was just 90 games. Catcher is a HUGE need after next year then...
I love the idea. Catcher is likely to be a big need pretty soon. Isn't Perez righthanded though? Would be a great Gattis replacement when he...
They'll expand when there is demand for their good/service. Otherwise stock buybacks, dividends, or sitting on the cash makes more sense.
Spotrac has Astros at $135 payroll before FA with current roster with arbitration raises. I'd guess they'll target around $150M payroll opening...
1. Verlander 2. Keuchel 3. McCullers 4. Morton 5. McHugh Swingman: Peacock Amount of time that all six will be healthy will probably be very...
Already filled by Yankees third base coach.
I wonder if Beltran would be interested in the assistant hitting coach position that is now open?
Who are you going to put on the 40 man (but not 25 man) that has a better chance of contributing to the major league team? We're not in the...

Closer - sign Davis or trade for Britton/Osuna Left Handed Reliever - sign McGee/Watson or trade for Brad Hand DH - do nothing. Trade at deadline...
Social Security and Medicare. Already part of their budget.
Bullpen let the team down yesterday so arms would have helped there.
They have a better top of bullpen which is more important in the postseason.
They may but he'd be on 4 days rest for game 1. Why not Gray in game 1 and Severino game 2 on regular rest?
Keuchel loves playing the Yankees though. 1.51 career ERA not to mention 2015 wild card game.
