Let him go not a true astro player kyle does hurt
That's wild he has the 4th highest aav considering he hasn't been an All Star since 2019.
Framber is a free agent this year, our history says we will not resign him. Come trade deadline let's put him on the bus for a really good outfielder.
Thank God he's finally gone. I've lived the last few months terrified the Astros would handcuff themselves to a decaying has been.
Love the show go astros
Get Verdugo
This is a different era of Astros baseball we’re not used to. Hate to say it but we will not be a championship competitive team this year & we will need to enter a rebuild asap and stop signing these aging players. Trade eveyone get younger get prospects and rebuild
The Astros should deal with Framber the way that they should have dealt with Tucker. Sign him to a three to four year extension. Don't wait until his contract is over and we can't, or won't match what other teams are willing to pay.
Jim crane should consider selling the team. To an owner that will actually spend money. Winning teams go over the luxury tax. The Astros are not that competitive anymore.
He is a slower starter for us and if he started quicker last year maybe we would not have played in wild card
Thank God he is gone , it was an insult how he acted
Bregman had a .196 post season avg. losing him was tough but not the end of the world. It’s too early to see how it will all work out.
Bye! So glad this is over and not even slightly upset or sad.
I don't wanna hear anything from Alex Bregman or Jbanksey this season. At all.
Trust in Crane. He is doing what is best for our long term success. We are always top five in spending, just like he said we would be. The only thing I disagree with is him going over the cap. We should of had a 2nd and a 4th round pick for Bagman instead of only a 4th.
Other than that, we all knew we weren't holding on to all these money bag guys. I grew up with the Ford Motor Company ownership where nothing ever, ever, ever, happened. At least Crane keeps it interesting. Plus he does resign the guys wanting to be here. F Bagman, but I do hope he unlives the Yanks. Gonna be a fun season.
Time to Rebuild
Alex Bregman needs Tommy John Surgery.
Huge risk giving him $40 million.
No Thanks
MLB radio said this morning that with deferral and taxes Bregman’s deal’s actual worth less than 90 mil and that Houston’s offer was significantly better looking long term.
Iam really happy that the Houston Astros didn't over pay for Bregman he is selfish and was never worth 200 million and that's why no team wanted to give him 6 yrs Boston is probably going to regret paying that much for an older player on the downside I can't say i will be rooting for him he is no longer an Astro so I don't care if he falls off a cliff and strikes out every at bat Iam disappointed we didn't get Santander we needed an outfielder and we wasted time waiting on Bregman
The he'll with that he's freaking money hungry. How many freaking millions do you need? He's not loyal!! I would still have signed with Astros, it's family. Now I hope we whip is ass.
Not a world series Roster hasn't been for a few years now.
Boston's problem now. The dude sold his Houston home a long time ago. He checked out a long time ago. His production has gone way downhill. We got the good years out of him so let him ride off into the sunset in Boston and collect way more money than he's worth.
I’m gonna miss Breggy. As an LSU/Astros fan, I’ve been following Bregman since 2013. This one hurts worse than Correa or Springer.
