Will be interesting to see what happens with Vasquez. I see Castro not resigning in that case which is ok.
Only see 1 of Diaz and Mancini coming back.
Pretty sure Castro is retiring bc of his knees

Rewatching the game on MLB and the only reason that I can see Schwarber bunting there was to beat the shift, but why on 2 strikes? Did they move around more when he had 2 strikes?
At the game Bregman was playing more for a bunt until there were 2 strikes and then he'd go to a more traditional SS position

1B and LF/DH are the biggest question marks in the field. Uncle Mike and Yuli are both FAs, not young, and now injured. Need to get that understood and addressed relatively soon.
I would love to see us re-sign Vasquez but I'm sure he wants to be a starter somewhere. Would be awesome if we would commit to the idea of him platooning on the order of half time with Maldy.

If JV would do it, would you sign him for 2 year/$80M? I would.

I'd be okay with Brantley if he would do a 1 year deal at $8M. I think Yuli is done in an Astros uniform. Hate it, but it's time.
If Yuli would take a team friendly deal I'd love to sign him as a platoon 1B or DH option.
Like 1 year 6 MM with team option for 2024

Vasquez can go start for half the league. He is gone.
This is how I lean as well. Sign him if he takes the backup player rate and gives us the club discount. He's a fantastic defensive 1B and could be a good late sub there.
We all know the team that wins the WS gets to wear a special gold trimmed Uni on the first home date the next year. Out 2018 was home white trimmed in gold.
Do we do the Framber special (AKA Sunday Blue) of the home alternate orange?
I'm voting for the Blue. Blue and gold look way better than orange and gold.

As of today, 27 and 35 will be retired.
27 yes..... 35 doubtful unless he retires here
35 was a part of 2 World Series rings and 2 CY youngs. It will be retried
If 34 is retired, 35 will be as well.

— Michael Schwab (@michaelschwab13) November 6, 2022
Aledmys Diaz
Yuli Gurriel
Christian Vazquez
Rafael Montero
Jason Castro
Michael Brantley
Still in limbo:
Justin Verlander player option
Will Smith club option
Trey Mancini mutual option
Hopefully they can get the GM contract worked out quick, can't wait very long with free agency. Bring back click.
Crane said last night his first call today would be to Verlander to see what was needed for him to remain here
Yainer Diaz will get his shot to be our next up and coming rookie. It would be good to bring back Yuli for one year. Let Yainer get a season rotating at C, 1B and DH and get some coaching from Maldy and Yuli.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Just walked by Brasserie 19. I think the team is there right now partying like they're public traded money.

Plenty of lots all around the route, I would get there around 5:30-6:00 AM. Once there plan on being there awhile afterwards. Have late lunch plans (reserved) in downtown, will be a long time for things to clear out. That was my experience in '17
See y'all there!!!!EastCoastAgNc said:#WorldSeries parade will be tomorrow at 12pm‼️

The #Mets are closing in on re-signing All-Star closer Edwin Diaz to a 5-year, $102 million contract.
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) November 6, 2022
It will be the largest contract for a reliever in history.
Astros related because we apparently got a steal on Pressley at $14M per

Only if Crane is willing to spend on upgrades at LF/1B and potential extensions to someone like Tucker, Bregman, Javier, Pena.

Feels like an overpay. Reset the top of the closer market.
The signing bonus is a record. Deal also includes an opt-out, full no-trade clause and sixth-year club option, per @JeffPassan. https://t.co/yVxZkks9xV

Pena definitely needs an extension, framber deserves one. I'm afraid the ship may have sailed on Tucker (I hope I'm wrong).
I'm not sure bringing back JV makes sense unless we trade a starter this off-season. We already have 6 starters for next year at this point. Maybe that could help us get a younger 1B / DH or replenish the farm system. Not signing JV provides a lot more payroll flexibility. It sucks to hear because I know what he's meant to the city, but it might be time to part ways.
Is the route longer than in 2017? I don't remember the route going as far south as Tuam. TexAgs party in Big Specs parking lot?EastCoastAgNc said:#WorldSeries parade will be tomorrow at 12pm‼️

The family Merch bill is up to around $300.
2 pennants

It's expensive being this good.

Steve Cohen never met a dollar he immediately didn't want to light on fire. That deal will age like sour milk
Is Mattress Mack the true MVP???
The Phillies had a HR Derby and absolutely stomped us to go up 2-1 in their house but everything changed after a viral video of Mattress freaking Mack ready to go to war at Citizens Bank Park. You simply cannot make this up. What an incredible turn of events. I love this city.

He said he wanted to come back and would take less money. He's from Dallas and apparently also likes to win …
It had a few turns in 2017 … which was a bad idea
