I've thought about going this route but just hate having to actually call someone every year to haggle over the price.
As we learned with McCullers deal his new contract does not have to impact this year....so there is no need to get rid of anyone this year to sign him since we have a large decrease in money spent in 2022 with Greinke and Verlander's deals off the booksFarmer1906 said:
The more I think about it, the more I believe if we want to get a deal done this year, Yuli & Diaz might need to hit the trade block. Those two would free up 10 M in luxury cap space. Carlos is making 11.7 this year. We could give Carlos 10/238 and stay under the cap, I think. I've had a couple bourbons so my math may be off.
10/238 would represent the largest contract the Astros have ever given out. It would make his AAV > Bregman and his total money way more than Altuve. That matters in the clubhouse. It's not Lindor money, but I've already discussed that money is ludicrous.
Say the extension doesn't happen, who's got the money to sign Correa? Eliminate the small market teams. Eliminate Boston(Bo), New York Mets(Lindor), Los Angels Dodgers (assume they spend on Seager), Washington (Turner) & Philly(Didi). New York would need to trade Torres to make a spot (DJ at 2nd) but that's possible. The Cubs would make some sense, but they could keep Baez cheaper. St Louis is probably too strapped for cash with Arenado & Goldschimdt. Atlanta has to pay Acuna. Who am I missing? Edit: Maybe San Fran. Are they ready to contend again?

Lets say the Astros are at 25/6 and Correa is at 30/6. Would you be okay with 27.5/6 = 6/165mm?

There's no way that post came from ZG - I didn't think he cared or knew when opening day was. Let alone would care enough to put a hashtag on there!
He's one of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde pitchers when it comes to home vs away stats. When we have faced him in Oakland, he's been almost unhittable. I'm pretty sure most of the success as come when we've faced him in Houston or neutral sites last post season.Harry Dunne said:
Let's talk about the game.
Bassitt has been sharp sharp this spring (0.87 WHIP) and threw a couple of very good games against us last year, but despite that our starting lineup has hit him well. .850ish OPS if I'm doing the math right...and that's not counting ALDS 1 when Carlos took him deep twice.

I don't bet on baseball, but if you can find a Carlos Correa to hit a HR prop and then look at the camera and pantomime singing a contract, bet I'd jump on that.

No, if I was still 20 or something I would have had it too. If I could change my desktop at work I would probably use one for my computer but work doesnt let us adjust that.n_touch said:Is this kind of like saying, "Hey man, no offense but...."Lonestar_Ag09 said:

Damn that was probably the best pitching matchup of the day across the entire league.EastCoastAgNc said:
Nats Mets postponed. Nats had somebody come back COVID positive, sounds like it might be more widespread.
I thought they were doing that BS this year? I thought I heard if a player has to be out then a taxi squad guy takes over and we move on...I guess wishful thinkingEastCoastAgNc said:

If the contact tracing impacts too many players they have to postpone the game. I read there were 4 initially that were on the same flight or something as the one that tested positive. I assume 1 of those 4 also tested positive which lead to more exposures likely.Lonestar_Ag09 said:I thought they were doing that BS this year?
