I've said it for a while now. I will be glad when Carlos is gone. He reminds me of a 13 yr old the way he acts. He such a poosy

Good God that's such a Correa thing to do. Dude is so fragile both physically and mentally.

What an awkward situation to put Luhnow in. He is aware that you are on your honeymoon, what is he gonna say "well Carlos this is a business and we don't think we can resign you in two years so if the right offer comes along then yes we would ship you out of here and when you come home you may not be an Astro. Oh and don't wear out that new toy the first night."

Of course he wouldn't say that...

He knows who wears who out in that relationship.

The Angels will certainly be able to slug with the Astros. We still have the pitching edge, though.

Still don't have a pitcher

Why are they considering trading toro???
Somebody has to play 3rd when Correa gets his next massage.

That Bregman 6 year $100 million extension looks like a steal....considering, knock on wood no injuries , he'll probably be the best player in baseball during that stretch

I wonder what kind of cut Boras gets on nearly a billion dollars in contracts? 5%?

Good lord.

Fun fact: most of them actually are lawyers. Insane the amount of money Boras is making in a few weeks time.

Technically no. Cole isn't paying him 5 percent of the 324 million all up front

That's almost as dumb as the Cole contract.

It feels like the Angels are pressured to make spectacular moves to sign players without seeing the big picture. Sometimes you can't just throw money at a problem and expect it to work.

There's no sense of strategy to their decisions. Yankees got Cole? Oh, well, we need to go get a big signing ourselves...

The Astros never do that. Their big offseason acquisitions are always going after high value targets. It's why we're able to succeed with a significantly smaller budget than the coastal teams.

Unlikely

But what if you trade one core, for another core

I realize ours is still high, but the Yankees have 245 million after the Cole signing
