I low key feel like if bellinger came to us he would sabotage us on purpose lol
The Mets I think is a suitor for Alex Bregman, Wife is from New York.
There was a report in sportingnews Justin Verlander is talking to Jim Crane. It is too early for Justin Verlander to sign. They are waiting on Alex Bregman also.
Roki Sasaki most likely a Dodger.
Dream Team
Nah, you’re undervaluing Framber because you’ve watched him. He’s won WS games and has finished top 5 for CY awards several times. He’s a lefty, and he’s a durable innings eater that’s front of the rotation. Trading Framber should net us a positive return, not a negative return.
Whatever happened to 4 to 5 year contracts max ???
Not sure why Bergman start off slow/struggles a bit with the bat every year, imagine if he could get going from the get-go his stats would look so much better, plus I believe the astros would have given him a better deal if he was more consistent from the start of the season and through-out
Bellinger to Houston? Heck no! Go repent and say 100 Hail Mary’s asap.
They would need to add of prospect from cubs for when Tucker leaves
Heard he isn’t posting till January
Trade valdez for crochet. Valdez was good when maldonado was catching this year look like valdez didnt want to listen to nobody n pitched whatever he wants
Belli shouldn't even be an option for us. Have we not learned a lesson on washed up all stars ?
Bregman is a homegrown talent. Not too many players are up to par to replace Bregman. I hope the Astros work a deal and just keep him so that he can retire here and most likely win one more World Series and retire as the best 3rd baseman in Astros history
Deferred deals full amount does count against their cap every year. I think you’re confused. They can pay it later but ohtani 70 million does count for next 10 years. Go look it up
Belly hates the Astros, not a good fit. For good reasons.🗑️
do Valdez to phillies for Bohn+..
If the owners just stand firm, most of them have other sources of income, they would get a cap and floor. I don’t care how strong the MLBPA is most players couldn’t last in a long holdout
There are no rules currently that prohibiting the deferred payment method. Every club has the same opportunity. And I wouldn't be screaming foul when you are still able to hang a World Championship banner for 2017 and your team cheated.
Both caps need to exist or it hurts everyone. International money is separate from the normal spending.
