It's inevitable.
It is November 23 and Aggie football control's their own destiny. Can't ask for more than that

Back even, now they need to finish it

As I was saying…42 years of watching this. Numbness kind of sets in.
ETA. 43 years. I've been drowning Aggie football sorrows for 43 years.
I'm ****ing done with football. We're never going to win anything so I'll just root for a time that can actually win…

Cubs just traded for Parades
Mariners can't afford him
Yankees won't do it. They're putting all their eggs in the Soto basket.
Red Sox & Tiger might but I can't see them offering up much more than us.
the Red Sox definitely need to get Devers off third base
Bregman and the green monster would likely be a good match
but Boston will still be paying Trevor Story thru 2027

Yankees would definitely do it if Soto leaves. Bregman is going to wait until Soto signs.
They like high upside players. Bregman ain't it. They already added Jazz and still have DJ. Plus NY LF would be a major problem for Breggy. He's vs short porch dependent.
Koochi to Anaheim
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

3/63 for Kikuchi
That's a little rich for me but dang that sucks

21 AAV is maybe a little high, but 3 years at that is way high when it's age 34, 35, & 36 seasons. Getting traded to Houston was the best thing that could have happened to his career.
Sometimes the Kuchi leaves you for a better deal and more money

I was hoping for a 2/40 deal with a 3rd year option
Let's be real, anyone who's going to command 20 M is outside of our budget if we're in the mix for Bregman, Adames, or Alonso.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Really wish we would have won a game so he would have gotten a playoff start at least. Makes the trade feel like it wasn't worth it in hindsight.
so regrading the Kikuchi trade...
it looked like an "A" in mid-September...
but then he never pitched in the playoffs...Astros knocked out in the wildcard round...and now he's signed with the Angels
so definitely downgraded to a "B"
and if any of the 3 players develop with the Blue Jays (or Tayler Scott doesn't bounce back)
looking at a "C" for the front office

Considering how the season ended I wish we could've kept Lopes and Wagner, Bloss I was okay with letting walk

I'll always remember the good kuchi we got.
Bob Nightengale confirms the 6 year 156M that I posted about the other day:
MLB rumors: Juan Soto, trade markets take shape before Thanksgiving

The Houston Astros would love to have Alex Bregman back on a six-year deal worth about $156 million, but Bregman is seeking a deal worth at least $200 million.
An incredibly fair deal and an opportunity to continue to win. 250+ million is a hell of a career earnings Alex.... dont let greed cloud your judgement buddy

I think he's getting some humble pie because he thought and was likely told he was a 300 M player. That was probably true after 18/19 but the balls changed.
agreed, only 11 players have high career earnings so far https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/leaders_salaries.shtmlMr.Bond said:

Continuing to win may be a reason NOT to sign here. The team has shown no inclination to resign Framber and Tucker after this year. Alex may have a very valid concern about where this team will be in a couple years.Mr.Bond said:

Agreed but also - the window is always open and Crane now has a too 5 payroll in a league with super spenders.

If the price is right, this is the move I pair with Bregman. It gives us a fantastic stock at 2025 without long term commitment.
Why would the White Sox have any interest at all in Bohm. They need a 3rd team in the mix.
The #Phillies have had “extensive trade talks” with the #WhiteSox about a trade involving CWS SP Garrett Crochet, PHI INF Alec Bohm, and PHI OF-prospect Justin Crawford, per @BNightengale

The stove seems to be warming up. I don't get spending semi big on FA when you don't have Vlad & Bo extended.

Would likely mean they're out on Bregman is they're spending big on SP.
Joey Loperfido traded for a rental that got you zero playoff wins.
