Why, cause he didnt want too pay a catcher 5yrs and likely $100 million?
That's certainly the best player available that fills the biggest need..LH hitting OF. Think we do land another catcher would rather pay one of...
Well you can start by looking at the Astros' starters and bullpen ERA which were both #1 in MLB. That should be how a team equates value to the...
He’s about to sign with the Cards
Cardinals and Contreras closing in on a deal. Thank effin’ gawd
Astros outta buy out Valdez’ Arb and attach a few free agent seasons on top of it for around what Bassitt or Eovaldi would cost. I think a yr...
What was so terrible about Game 4 of the WS? The man can handle the pitching staff. There’s nothing else you need out of a catcher. Astros already...
Might be a good idea too hold onto all the starters, gonna cost a lot for the top options. T. Walker too the Phillies 4/72 Taillon too the Cubs 4/68
How’s he going to DH with Alvarez at DH 100+ games? Plus he doesn’t hit left handed so the lineup is not balanced.
I wouldn’t go more than two years on any catcher about as dumb as giving a HB a long term deal.
Nope he doesnt hit left handed and that's the end of the intrigue. The contract sucks, he's a shitty catcher and we lose valuable core pieces that...
There hasnt been a single good argument. This guy is a disaster. Cant catch. Average numbers as a DH/LF option. Keeps three LH hitters out of the...
thats even worse.
And that's who you wanna pay 20 mil a year for a guy who would catch 70 games? And be a detriment too the Astros not having three LH hitters in...
I wouldnt be surprised if Judge signs today. He took a plane straight from MNF game too San Diego
i wouldnt hate it. But its too early in free agency and the field is abundant on Tier 3 FA's
Doesn't look like the Dodgers will have any substantial money too spend this offseason. Already talking about Gavin Lux as the starting shortstop....
I’d gladly take those numbers and the vet knowledge he could pass on is probably worth 9 mil a year alone.
Crane should never have a rap for being a tight owner. He’s traded for two starters making over 30 mil a year (JV and Grienke), given the two...
I like Vasquez the most, he was great behind the plate and a quality hitter. He fit the clubhouse wonderfully. I hate the idea of spending $20 mil...
