The fact that they're still talking about this is the sad part. I thought the Athletic was going belly up?

Athletic Offseason Grade:Quote:
Houston Astros
Grade: B+
Nailing down the GM spot was huge for the organization, and Dana Brown is a well-regarded executive with a great background in scouting for a few successful organizations. The Astros also got better at first base by signing Jos Abreu to a three-year deal, but will his worst slugging against fastballs (by 100 points) in 2022 be more of a sign of age than the org thought? Also letting Justin Verlander go means not only losing some star power at the top of the rotation, but making Hunter Brown the one-man stop-gap if the team needs pitching depth. Last year's best starting rotation can probably handle it, though, so a good offseason writ large. Eno Sarris
that's amazing after recent TV schedulesCFTXAG10 said:
If my math is right we only have 15/162 starting after 8pm ct. Not too bad.
I blame the commissioner. His arrogant ass claim of protecting the integrity of the game while not releasing the report is typical east coast arrogance. The report should be seen by the HOF voters, as to judge Beltran's leading role. But, better to protect the bluebloods rather than come clean on the whole mess.BadAggie said:
The Red Sox were officially and publicly popped for the same thing. As were the Yankees, though of course it was a "private letter" which it took some legal wrangling to uncover. Fairly clear the Dodgers did the same thing. Yet we have to live in this fantasyland where only the Astros did something which violated the sacredness of the game: winning while playing in flyover country instead of in some larger media market full of idiots in their fanbase.
one of the most irritating things about this...Farmer1906 said:
If anyone is curious here is the article on the reporting of the sign stealing. No Astro fan should pay them a dime.

It wasn't the players banging the trash can. It was the guy sitting at the table in the tunnel between the dugout and clubhouse with the video feed from a center field camera decoding signs.W said:one of the most irritating things about this...Farmer1906 said:

the media always goes after Luhnow -- rips him to pieces.
but they won't touch or get specific with individual players.
...tell us which player was banging the trash can during Springer's at-bats or Correa's at-bats and so forth.
I'll be surprised if Drellich does either. He's afraid of the players and/or the players union
Read this thread.. wow https://t.co/ToKgwktc7a

MLB Network is being dropped by YouTube TV. The streaming service was the only one that included it as part of their base plan.

The channel remains on Sling TV and fuboTV, which include it in their Sports Add-on.https://t.co/Gic2071q09

Same here...screw these guys. Bet when they work it out none of the recordings come back.RED AG 98 said:
BOOOOO!!!!!!!! Just got official notice from YTTV. I especially hate the highlighted portion. If I had a classical DVR I would not lose access to what I recorded!
The Astros signed former Angels reliever Ty Buttrey to a minor league deal with an invite to major league camp. @SamBlum3 first reported the news. https://t.co/5PkBCV7gI7

I just dropped DIRECTV, are you paying under $100 for cable? They weren't budging and I was paying close to $140 when I dropped. YouTube TV for $70/month and then Fubo for Stros season was just too much savings to ignore.Lonestar_Ag09 said:
All I'm saying….is I have stayed the course with my DIRECTV, been rewarded for my loyalty, and all these streaming service keep dropping their offerings and raising their prices

The extension talk got the wheels turning in my head. I found a very nice comp for Tucker that could be realistic.
Austin Riley

Bought out 3 years of Arb

12 WAR thru ~1800 PAs

Kyle Tucker

Would Crane break his 5-6 year rule? Would Tucker accept a 21.2 AAV after this last offseason? How would the rest of the clubhouse feel (see Yordan)?
