A lot of miles on those arms. What are they going to do if there are any injuries?
Couldn't happen to a better team.

Walker is out this year for TJ, right?
They replaced Buehler with Thor. That's a downgrade. And they moved Turner so SS is a big question. I foresee them overpaying for Swanson.
Now that's definitley creepy AF. I kid I kid man.Texaggie7nine said:Just finished a great signing with Jose Abreu! Can’t wait to have his products #VerifiedbyBLOCKS and catalogued on the BLOCKS Registry! #HUMBL #BLOCKS #Astros pic.twitter.com/Bva8tTP7Fy

Do autograph sessions normally happen in hotel rooms?
I remember reading about JFF meeting people in hotel rooms to sign stuff for money but big pros do it too?
Amen, making a living off of other's accomplishments and they're freaking signature is going to dip to the scum of the barrel of human society.AstroAggie15 said:

So with the way contracts are going. Are we expecting players to go through their rookie contracts and then get a contract til they are 40? Or in a couple years will all these teams be regretting owing 150+ million to players who dud?

I have a feeling they will be declining this year
Which well be well deserved for all the smack they talked while dropping 2 out of three in LA. Their fans deserve 20 years of misery for sheer stupidity and ignorance.
Dodgers fans actually make me like Yankees fans.
Was Dustin May created in a lab using spare genetic material from Justin Turner?

They cloned him from beard trimmings.

I think they'll end up buying these guys out at the end of their deal like what happened with Cano.
If Correa said I'll sign for 350 M, you can give it to me in 1 year or 15 years. The longer the deal goes, the lower the AAV is which is what is used for calculating payroll.
While we've seen some crazy contracts, how many guys are getting them? The top 2-3%. Most won't ever get anything close to a mega deal.
Good guy Lance

My WS commemorative issue came today. Sadly it's making me realize some of the details in the glorious post season are already fading. Between the epic games one and three of the ALDS I had already forgotten that Yordan hit the game winning HR in game two.
It has an all time Astros team section in the back. It has the all time outfielders as Wynn, Cedeno and Cruz. Poor Berkman can't even get any respect from the Astros but not sure which of those guys he would have replaced. Wynn maybe.

I really hope this is not accurate.
Todd Kalas and Geoff Blum are the best in the business. They truly have the best chemistry and you hear it on the broadcast.

It's my understanding that both of them are unsigned for 2023. I know Astros fans would agree that they should come back! pic.twitter.com/uwr6C3VCTw
That's BS if true.
They are not signed, Hopefully this next go round they sign them for more than a year.
I will revolt if they don't come back

That was impressive. Wish more sportscasters were that insightful
That would be a massive mistake if true.

If a buddy txts or tells me that he saw some celeb that I am a fan of at some ordinary place they were at like a store or whatever, I would enjoy hearing the story and I would enjoy it more if they had a picture, even if it is just the celeb by themselves and not taking a pic with my buddy.
I can't fathom being a celeb and being annoyed someone took a picture of me at a public place without me knowing.
Friend of mine was vacationing in Italy this summer and he sent me a picture of Tom Brady. He actually talked with him a bit and even had a quick message on FaceTime for my friends son who was back home finishing a HS football practice. Meanwhile Giselle and her Mom were fuming because their yacht wasn't ready because Tom screwed up the reservation. The handwriting was on the wall.
The Astros should be in a position to sweeten the pot somewhat as well, with as ****ty as their PR has been over the past few years. Can't let Blummer and TK get away.
Losing TK and Blummer would sting so much more than losing Verlander.
Dodgers are not going crazy with the spending this offseason because they are waiting for big fish Ohtani. He will be a Dodger eventually, maybe before the trade deadline in 2023.

Akin to being enrolled in a jelly of the month program. It would be the **** sandwich that stinks the whole season.
When did they sign the contract last year? It could be pretty common for this time of year to not have all the media stuff taken care of contract wise considering the team has been dealing pretty heavily with winter meeting, FA's and not to mention all the extra stuff you have to deal with after winning a World Series.....Farmer1906 said:

Don't get me wrong, she's an all-time smoke show and every dude on here would huff her farts and ask for more, but can you imagine how much of a beat-down it would be to deal with a woman who's never really worked a real job or had to work hard but became a billionaire simply because she won the genetic lottery and is preposterously beautiful? The ego and entitlement would be nuclear weapons-grade.
Meanwhile, Brady has worked his ass off for over 20 years to go from a complete afterthought to arguably the greatest QB to ever play the game and is legendary for being so competitive that he's probably the dad who just wrecks his kids in every type of game they play. Brady probably gets pissed if he loses at CandyLand.
facts. Tom needs to find him a southern belle somewhere. Not a instagram chick or some nut job model
I think last year was an option that got picked up from their previous contracts they signed in 2019.AustinCountyAg said:When did they sign the contract last year?

I was thinking the same thing….Or maybe it was a verbal, "we'll be back" but nothing had been signed.

What is she up to these days? Haven't seen her in a movie or anything in a long time. She was one been on of the top smoke-shows on the planet in the early-2000's.
Somebody please tell me Julia is coming back next season.
She works for AT&T SportsNet SW, not the Astros. I haven't heard anything about her contract being up.
Bumping because for some reason the Rangers thread was at the top.
yes, this seems to be their plan --- and probably a good oneWabs said:
