Well those Correa comments really suck to hear as a fan.
Crane being cheap is honestly surprising to me. I'm guessing Click is bringing the Tampa bay mentality to Houston.
Hopefully he plays at his best, wins a title this year and that'll take some of the sting away. Losing Springer after being a game short of the World Series was agonizing
Don't get it twisted. This isn't "being cheap". Crane has a track record of spending over the last 5 years. This is more a difference in philosophy. The Astros org doesn't believe in mega contracts. For every one you point to the works out I can probably point to 10 that didn't.
It sucks. It hurts to lose a key player, the vocal leader, and a clutch performer. But I think we'll all be okay if we keep winning and making playoffs runs.
I think I'm just mad since he's my favorite player and has been since 2015. It's not a make or break deal of course but I just don't want to see him wearing another uniform. Especially after he went to bat for the guys last year
I honestly wonder if we just said "we are going to give you 30-40 MM a year for a shorter deal. Like 3 years 100 MM"
It sounds like a crazy deal but Bryce Harper said on a podcast last year he almost came to the Astros in 2019 for 2 years at 40 MM per
A 3 year massive money deal would give us Correa during his 26-29 years old seasons, and he would be a FA at age 29 with potential to still get a huge deal
