It's going to be interesting to see what he signs for. If it's way less than what the Astros offered….. ouch.

It won't be for less than what we offered but it won't be what he expected.
I'm just pumped that Dana/Crane didn't "wait out" Breggy's decision and lose out on a player like Walker. Make another smart move or two and this will be a very good offseason for Dana.
Does this tarnish Boras with that happening two years in a row?Ag_07 said:Hornbeck said:Farmer1906 said:

I mean...At this point I don't think so.
Dude has so many clients and continues to add to his portfolio.
I just don't see guys all of a sudden avoiding Boras because 3-4 guys over the past couple seasons haven't gotten the deals they expected.

Outfields I want to target in a trade.

- Luke Raley

Which one of these teams would agree to Press, Caratini, and one of Meyers/Chas?
I could Baltimore being interested in Pressly, but he's not bringing values to the trade. It's going to take prospect capital.f1ghtintexasaggie said:Farmer1906 said:

None
The Houston Astros have traded their best player, Kyle Tucker, and are letting go of Alex Bregman, who has the most WAR for them since his first full season in 2017. In the meantime, they will pay first basemen Christian Walker and José Abreu a combined $39.5 million in 2025.…

Yeah, eat a dick sandwich Jeff. No mention in his tweet about the controllable years and prospect we got for Tucker (who probably wasn't re-signing with us any way).EastCoastAgNc said:The Houston Astros have traded their best player, Kyle Tucker, and are letting go of Alex Bregman, who has the most WAR for them since his first full season in 2017.

The "expertise" of most of these analysts has the depth of a teaspoon.
Everyone struggles to retain talent.
Nats couldn't keep Soto even after 500 M offer before 500 M offers were a thing.
Yanks couldn't keep Soto after 700 M offer.
Sox didn't keep Betts
Braves didn't keep Freeman
Angels didn't keep Ohtani
Braves didn't keef Fried
Nats didn't keep Harper
Dodgers didn't keep Seager
Dodgers didn't keep Machado
Giants didn't keep Snell
Dodgers didn't keep Turner
Sox didn't keep Bogarts
Dodgers didn't keep Sherzer
Mets didn't keep deGrom
Nats didn't keep Rendon
Good players leave for a lot of money and that includes from big market teams. The Astros have had a bunch of good players.
Lets just ignore the multiple extensions between Altuve, Bregman, Alvarez, Pressly, Gurriel, Brantley, Verlander, McCullers, etc.

Chandler on 790 says barring any trades working out, no more signings on offense or in the rotation. Any other guys will be super low money or minor league deals with spring training invite to possibly make the big league roster
Mariners are sustainable

I've lived in Phoenix a couple of years and like this for the Astros. He can hit and is great with the glove. DBacks fans are disappointed.

I think if anything, it will push more players to him. Boras is getting the reputation of a guy who asks more than the market price. Some guys get it (Soto, Harper, Seager). Others don't, but it's the Ws that folks will remember.

Yep. And not to mention Tucker did a disappearing act in back to back postseasons. Management did good to get the return that they got for Tucker, and Walker seems to be a more-than-serviceable 1B.
Jeff can suck a fat one
Jeff P does not know ball

FWIW the Cards want Spaghetti for Donovan
Do that deal yesterday
Pressly and Spaghetti for Donovan
Donovan expected HRs by park. Notice anything that stands out….
Now I'm not sure if that was a 1 for 1 deal. I just know Spaghetti was at least asked for

That's probably a fair ask.

Major emphasis on barring any trades here.
Are Dubon, McCormick and Myers going to be the outfielders? If so, it's garbage.
While Donovan would fit well (and really concretize this new 3 year roster window), you can't give up Spaghetti without have a plan to acquire another arm that is cheap and not a JAG.
Especially considering we're losing framber after this year.
Yeah I'm not sure I'd part with Spencer.
I really think he could be a stud #2/3 arm in a rotation.
A potential future Framberless rotation of HB, Javier, Araghetti, Garcia could be pretty damn salty.
