    So that means we can basically have a Montero contract from Daiken every year. Thanks fellas!

    That's I guess one way to look at things I suppose

    Or you could sink an extra $15M into the development/scouting/minor league situations every year.

    Or just pocket it.

    Whatever works for you I guess.

    Well my point is that our stadium name is stupid

    wish we were one of the teams that didn’t do that (give our stadium a corporate name)

    It should’ve been called something Astro related this whole time.

    I’m obviously in favor. Was just being silly.

    We are only 2 million below the tax threshold. What contracts could we ship out to get someone meaningful in a trade? Chas, Rodgers?

    One doesn’t have to equal the other. Yankee stadium. Fenway park. Oriole park @ camden yards, etc…

    I would prefer that.

    If its just 10 mil then they can find a creative way to replace that money and give us an awesome and unique stadium name. Something Astro or Houston related.

    I think someone should pay $15M to take the OXY s**t off of everything.

    Oriole Park
    Fenway Park
    Angel Stadium
    Dodger Stadium
    Yankee Stadium
    Nationals Park

    The Astros have pitched four shutouts in the last six games against two teams that are the top three teams in the national League.

    Insane.

    And I'm still worried about Tarik Skubal.
