Astros magic number to clinch the AL is 2
Yankees lose. Magic number down to 2!

No more Springer on here. Guy wanted out of here well before his contract was up. He wanted to distance himself from the "cheating scandal" even though he was one of the biggest beneficiaries of it. F Springer....I hope we get to beat that jokers ass in the playoffs. All of the fans giving him so much love when he comes back bothers me.....he hated Houston
That gif was more for the tine dessert derailment - time to gear up for some October funtime
I had no idea he hated it here.

Yeah.....straight from a team source. Couldn't wait to get out here fast enough
so, can we make fun of his speech impediment now?

In fairness to Springer, the club screwed him pretty bad. They held him down in the minors for way too long so they didn't start the clock on actually paying him. Dude lost more than a year of prime earning. It was the right move for the club, but screwed him out of a bunch of money.
Screwed him pretty bad seems a tad harsh.
Drafted in 2011
2012 - Split time between A & AA
2013 - Split time AA & AAA
2014 - Called up to the majors in April then got hurt in July
Dude still made close to $40M playing for the Astros.

don't care, springer was a badass who played hard. will always be a fan
Correa should be getting the standing ovations over Springer. He wants to come back after this season and was one of the first to embrace all of the hate and defend his guys

In fairness, the Astros were terrible and a 100 loss team in those years. He was tearing it up in the minors at the same time. I can see his point of view.Mikeyshooter said:

Good friend knows someone pretty high up in the organization
Its not really a secret Correa wanted to stay in Houston. Not a surprise he would want to come back, but its not happening. The money isn't there. Would love to have him, but he's not worth what he wants given the payroll Crane wants to maintain.
Going to be hard to rationalize paying Correa the money he wants with the year Pena had. We have other more glaring needs to spend that kind of money on right now.Panama Red said:

Would definitely move Pena to another position if they can make the $ work with Correa. I think his demands from last season have come down quite a bit
So Correa is going to give up $35mm in Minnesota the next couple years or a potential long term contract in Minnesota, SF, Chicago, etc. to come to Houston for less?
And Houston, who has less unknowns with a strong rookie season out of Pena and a slight drop in Correa's performance this year vs. 2021, is going to come to the table even stronger for Correa? And where will Pena move to?
Sorry, this just seems out of the realm of realistic possibilities despite what someone on TexAgs who knows someone who knows someone w/ the Astros says.....

Sorry, I'll refrain from passing along what I'm told because you don't think it's realistic. Correa loves the majority of our players who will be here awhile, loves the front office, and most importantly loves Houston.
I don't doubt any of that. Plus, I'd love for him to come back.David_Puddy said:

But what does that mean? It wasn't enough to keep him in Houston last year. And Astros have less unknowns this year so would probably be offering less.....

Yordan to first base, JP to left field. Don't know if Yordan can play first, but he sure has the build for it.
Honestly, if we are talking about Correa level money, I would rather see them go out and get an elite center fielder. Correa felt he was the heart of the team and was indispensable so he expected the Astros to pay him more to keep him, but this year showed that wasn't the case. If he wants to come back, I would not be happy if they brought him back for top dollar and went with a makeshift outfield again. If he likes it so much and wants to be here so bad, the money he asks for needs to reflect the reality that he needs the Astros more than the Astros need him right now.
