He's in year 2 of a 6 year 140 M deal. And he needs a change of scenery to give a *****

---

Oof

Baez since he signed a six-year, $140 million contract with the Detroit Tigers...

.230 AVG
.271 OBP
.377 SLG
.647 OPS
-2 DRS
1.8 WAR

He’s just not good.

Yikes.

Why do you think he won't be healthy? Too much wear? He's been near to the top of the league games played for the last several years.

Correa was one of the home runs too

A Yankee Stadium unicorn. Must have been the wind/open air/ect

Carlos Correa vs Colten Brewer#MNTwins

🦄 IT'S A UNICORN 🦄

Home Run (1) 💣

Exit velo: 99.8 mph
Launch angle: 24 deg
Proj. distance: 376 ft

This would have been a home run at Yankee Stadium and nowhere else.

There was definitely some magic going on in the first inning.

Astros No. 5 prospect Pedro León is starting at second base for Triple-A Sugar Land tonight. It’s his first start outside of the outfield this season.

I don't love it. I get it tho. We have a ton of great OF prospects that look to be passing Leon. But Leon has elite speed, a great arm, and is most valuable in CF where he can use his tools.

I think he's our future 2B after Jose

Kenedy Corona is showing some pop tonight. Hit a ball off the left field wall earlier and just drove one on a line to CF warning track where it was caught.

Asheville takes an 8-7 lead in the tenth, and we'll see if they can hold it.

Edit: First pitch double ties the game. Lol.

Just to wrap up the Asheville game, the 10th inning had a great defensive play/baserunner mistake that could have ended the game.

Bases loaded, 2 outs. Batter hits a smash to first baseman Collin Price, who makes the play on a slight sliding stop and races to first. Batter decides to go headfirst in, and ends up fingertips short as Price taps the bag for the force. Would have ended the game! There were only two umps and I don't know how he made the right call.

In the 11th, Freudis Nova hits a two run shot to left center field and we manage to shut the door on Greenville in the bottom of the inning. Tourists win 10-8.

Time to BTSOOTR!

question for those who go to Sugarland games....thinking of taking the family to a game soon. I've got two 5 year olds so I am curious about the water park and ticket options. Yall suggest getting reserved seats, or is it better to just get outfield general admission seats and let them play out there? Wondering how bust the water stuff, playground areas gets? Any tips are welcome. Haven't been to the ballfield there in a handful of years back when it was the skeeters.

We just buy the lawn/general admission tickets when we go, unless it's a big event (big giveaway items, rehab start, july 4, ect).
There will be enough empty seats down the line you can find some if you want/need to sit down.
The hill views aren't bad, and you can also bring a blanket or camping chairs (but beware the slant of the hill makes camping chairs somewhat uncomfortable).

Prepay for parking. It's $5 (I think) cheaper to buy before the day of.

The splashpad and playground can get pretty busy, but it has never been overwhelming (except when the Astros visited this year). We have never had a problem keeping an eye on our kids, but just know that you can't see the splashpad from the opposite side of the playground.

We typically bring a drawstring bag to throw the wet clothes in and have the kids change in the bathrooms by the playground.

The Giants and Logan Webb agreed to a five-year, $90 million deal.

Speaks to the deal we got for Javier and is a good comp for Framber. He still may wait it out for a shot at something longer term since he's older.

I feel really good about Javier's deal. I'm worried he takes a substantial regression to the mean after an amazing last year; but even if he does step back to 120-130 ERA+ pitcher, it's a good deal.

The great Frambino is a top 5 started in all of baseball, I think you're right. He's going to want a contract somewhere north of what Zach Wheeler got, probably 6/150 or something.

Sold

Framber may be "older" but he still doesn't have many innings in his career. Did he pitch a ton in the minors?

I don't think age has anything to do with it. Its just a matter of we aren't going to pay bigger on him when we have Brown Young and controllable, Blanco younger and controllable and Forrest younger and controllable.

Same issue with Ted, it isnt that he doesnt deserve what he is going to ask. Its that we dont see the value in that contract with out depth in the OF.

Totally different scenario with Bregman and Pena. And hopefully Jose sees the beauty of a single team and takes something team friendly

Even with depth in the outfield, Tucker is a superstar. I know we just had this situation with Correa...but can we afford to play that same game again?

Across 2 and now maybe 3 GMs we had a plan where we only sign free agents on very rare situations.

Only thrice I can remember going out and offer 3-4 year deals to free agents. It was Reddick, Abreu, & Montero (2/3 we're done without a GM). I guess you could count Neris. He has a 3rd year option.

We let JV (after TJ), Brantley, & Montero hit FA and then sign them. We let Marwin, Morton, Keuchel, Cole, Correa, Greinke, & Springer all walk.

We like to extend early. JV, Alvarez, Altuve, Bregman, Javier, Pressly, Yuli (twice?), Maldy, and probably more I'm not remembering.

Wasn't Pressly an early extension?

Yup. He's listed as one.

Clearly skimmed through those too quickly
