So here is the big question and I know it's been discussed on here before but….

What does it take now to keep tucker and Framber?
Do y'all see any path for them to get a short term deal done like we did with breggy and Yordan to buy out the arbitration years?

Or are they looking at this market and thinking they wait it out and get massive deals?


Framber is 29 with 3 years of arbitration left. He could be a good candidate. Buy out 3 years of arb and get 2 years post arb on a 5 year deal (similar to breggy I believe). Because of his age he might be better off cashing in for 5 years vs trying to get a high dollar long term deal at age 32

Tucker will be a Yankee, Met, or Dodger.

Shocking prediction, I know.

Might as well not even put out a statement. Their fans should be livid.

Giants need to out a fake press release saying they've successfully cloned Willie Mays to redirect the hate.

Or pay some guy $50,000 to wear a Dodger hat and write some racial slurs on the side of the stadium.

First Arson Judge, now this.

I wish every single Astros fan would see this and never forget it, especially any of the ones complaining about the offseason moves made so far or a lack thereof.

I feel for Giants fans (and former Astros asst. GM/new Giants GM Pete Putila) after not getting Judge or Correa, but they still have three titles this century, only behind Boston's four. For those two proud franchises, the dichotomy of where they are now compared to where they were in 2021 is just another reason for Astros fans to never take anything for granted. With both of those teams already most likely out of the World Series picture moving forward for a while it should serve as a reminder how quickly things can change. Who knows, the AL West may become the toughest division in baseball before long. Thank goodness for what Jim Crane and Jeff Luhnow built here.

Damn well better appreciate this run. Mrs. Marvin and I will be at MMP on Opening Day to soak it all in and revel in the glory of our boys as World Series Champs- again!

Every single one of you should make plans to be there as well. I mean, I expect another gold pennant in '23 to balance out the appearances (I'm OCD like that) but this one is and continues to be extra special. Don't miss it!
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

At least Crane was still able to be comfortably under the tax without Click holding him back from spending like the big dogs.

Correa is a dbag. It's all about him.

I've un-ignored everyone I ignored during the playoffs with one shining exception.

if the Astros are thinking about doing a 10-year $300 MM kind of deal...it should be for Tucker.

and not Bregman

Wow, this is a thought exercise. Choose just one? Not sure I can. Who is easier to replace? What does the farm have coming up? Which replacement would be more available? Do we expect Bregman to stay healthy? Would Farmer leave along with TED?

I just can't wrap my head around this what-if. Of course, I've been sitting on a barstool all afternoon while Mrs. Marvin shopped, so there's that. Just give me the why not both gif.

I would take Eovaldi, just becuase we have a good track record with signing 32 year old pitchers from Alvin, TX.
Ive been a proponent of this move, mainly because I think you could flip another starter for a CF or catcher. Does Urquidy and Stanek get you Varsho? Any interest in Salvador?

Someone posted a few weeks ago that a reasonable goal over the next three years would be 3 LCS appearances, 2 pennants and 1 title.

If that were to happen, we would be in a 9 year stretch with...

9 postseason appearances
9 LCS appearances
6 Pennants
3 Titles

I was born in 1974...so the first 43 seasons of my life produced...

10 postseason appearances
4 LCS appearances
1 pennant
0 titles

That would be an absolutely absurd stretch of baseball if it plays out that way, and the fact that would be a historic stretch, not just in franchise history but baseball history is most definitely not lost on me.

Yankees DFA'd our local boy this afternoon. Has put up solid numbers past two years and would fit in well in the bullpen. We know how dusty likes his left handed relievers…
