It's remarkable to me how few Sunday night games the Astros have gotten these past few years. Not that I want to listen to their blowhard announcers...
NL lovefest. Oh, except for a couple of Yankee games.EastCoastAgNc said:⚾️ Sunday Night Baseball 2022 early dates:

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
I want more gold pennants
If NYC won’t let @TheJudge44 play, the @astros would love to have him…. https://t.co/cyCZXTv2hx

Nah I'm good
To hell with y'all...I'd take Judge in RF and Tuck in CF all day long and twice on Sundays.
Do not want.

In a New York minute.

$350/10 years ?
If I were Carlos, you couldn't pay me enough money to go there. What a waste of a career that would bebearkatag15 said:Sources: O's working on a new offer for Scot Boras and Carlos Correa.https://t.co/GjRyBFmzw8

This is the reason I hate caller driven sports radio.
Dude will never sniff the playoffs if he goes to Baltimore.
He'll be a perennial All Star...As the lone rep for Baltimore.
I don't know that I buy all the Orioles hype. They wouldn't pay Machado 3 years ago, but now all of a sudden, they're gonna offer Correa the same deal they would have given to keep Machado?
Keep in mind Elias is the GM at Baltimore. He was the a key piece in the rebuild right alongside Luhnow.
He knows Carlos extremely well.

Reminds me when Castro made all star team years ago as the astros representative. Dude had like a .200 batting average if I remember right. Lol

Sign me up for that
I've heard some funny comments from players about the new trucker Astros Spring Training hats.
— Michael Schwab (@michaelschwab13) March 17, 2022
One told me "they stink, they hurt my ears" 😂
Another player "they look cool but aren't good. They fit weird". The hat keeps falling off this particular player. pic.twitter.com/zTwbp57ER9

And yet, if Mrs. Marvin and I were in West Palm this spring I would buy three of them… sad face.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Pretty sure they're available at Academy or the team store at MMP.
If it was actually a trucker hat I'd get it. But I don't want a mesh back fitted hat.

With the spring training patch? That would be a first. I think, anyway.
ETA- doesn't matter. Gotta be there to earn it.

If that Orioles offer is legit, that might be enough to pry him. Astros won’t do 10 years. But, they will do big time AAV with opt outs. It’s up to Los. He won’t play meaningful ball in Baltimore for quite some time, if ever. Hard to say. He stays, we keep the party going.

On one hand, I'd be really disappointed in Carlos for choosing to indulge the "look at my huge contract/d*ck measuring contest" over the desire to play for an organization and fan base that stood by him through everything that came to light over the last few years. It's his life and his grandchildren would be set for life, I get it. If he signed with the Astros or a contender, I'm sure he'd still be set for life.
On the other hand, him going to Baltimore would mean he isn't playing for a contender that could challenge our team. Takes him off the postseason board.

This is the hypothetical I used to always play with my brother.
"Would you rather be the Star player on a sucky team, or a good role player on an amazing team"
Obviously not apples to apples but that's the choice he will have to make.
I'm shocked he hasn't accepted yet. The fact he's even considering anything from Houston at this point is crazy to me when he's been offered 360 million! He's already had a career with more postseason play (and success) than most guys. Go get your money.
If it is 10 years 350 million. I dont see any reason for him not to take that.
It would suck for sure but most people would take that. Plus in his mind, he probably thinks he can help build the orioles as their star player into playoff contenders like the 2015 Astros

I read 360. 40 the first 2 years then 35 the last 8.
The Os might be good eventually. They have a solid CFer and a top flight minor league system.

the Orioles would be a shock.
but shades of Rendon taking the most money to play with the perennial stay-at-home Angels.
same situation with Kris Bryant in signing with the Rockies.
if it is Baltimore...Correa better put some opt-outs in there for himself within the first 3 or 4 years --- they are still going to lose bigly for the next few seasons

If he plans on opting out then he will stay here. I'm willing to be Crane will dish out 3-4 big money years easily. The allure Baltimore is giving is paying him 36 per until he's 37.
The player's union is going to push for the biggest contract. Seems to me I remember that being the case when Hampton left for the Rockies. He needs to get it over with one way or the other.
The Orioles are a freaking stat padder for that entire division.

Not like he will be playing for the league min if he stays here. He will still be paid very well lol
