As far as I’m concerned, the Rangers can have Story, but, between the two, Semien is the bigger signing. He was an MVP candidate last season.
Tigers and maybe the Phillies.
Agreed. Semien was their premier signing for this offseason.
The Rangers signing Semien to a deal of that magnitude is good news for the Astros chances of keeping Correa. They were the most likely team to...
If the market was willing to give Correa 10 years, $350M, he would have already signed somewhere. The glut of elite shortstops available is...
If the Astros won’t give 27-year-old Carlos Correa a market value contract, there is very little reason to be optimistic the team signs Tucker...
At the moment, you are correct. Unless Crane is willing to pay the luxury tax this season, the Astros would have to trade some contracts to free...
If Tucker and Alvarez are unwilling to take extensions, what caliber of player do you expect to sign at an equal or cheaper cost in free agency to...
The Astros can afford a contract with an AAV of $35M. Jose Altuve currently makes $29M. Verlander was making $33M each of the past two seasons.
Signing a potential ace in Justin Verlander was an important signing. Signing Hector Neris to a contract with an AAV of $8.5M does not belong in...
I understand why the comments are being made. My perspective is James Click should have deals lined up or in the works so the Astros can afford...
From a payroll perspective, Jim Crane is running his organization much closer to the Dodgers’ model, and I commend him for it. He’s a great owner....
The Astros can maximize value and still sign their elite talent. The Astros’ revenue stream has increased dramatically because of the level of...
If signing a reliever like Neris prohibits the Astros from doing what it takes to keep Carlos Correa or signing another elite hitter to replace...
Jae’Sean Tate probably shouldn’t be inbounding the ball in late-game situations.
If it convinces some other NBA team to take House’s cheap contract, sure. If not, then it’s on Silas to stick to playing the young guys.
Danuel House and Garrison Mathews making big plays to help the Rockets get their second win. Who would have thought that would happen?
I’m very happy justice was rightfully served in this case. Things are still far from perfect, but this is a step in the right direction.
The White Sox were also butchers in the field. That was a significant advantage the Astros had in that series.
Of course. Maybe McHugh gets three years, but it would surprise me.
