The whole Russian mob track suit is bizarre. Pro athletes playing dress up like that. I know it's purely a motivational mind trick but it kind of smacks of rookie desperation. It's the act of a manager and team that hasn't won before.

Don't bury the lead guys… did Bregman announce he wasn't doing salsa anymore?
I'd heard a rumor a while back that the front office told him he was too focused on his side hustles (salsa, horses, etc.) and not focused enough on baseball.
Didn't pay it much mind, and haven't seen any official announcements that he's quitting the salsa game.

I can buy that. There was about a 6 month span I think in about 2021 where he only ever posted about salsa and horse racing. Now he posts a lot more baseball stuff

I'm sure that's a difficult conversation but it wouldn't surprise me if there is contract language to support.
I think y'all are way off base and just making **** up.
Still not 2018/19 level but it'll do for now.
Is anybody here actually watching the game? Geez didn't know 100% of texags subscribers had spectrum
Edit: wrong thread

Agreed. There is zero chance the front office of a baseball team told their player he can't have a business that makes salsa.

I feel he's as good since the All-Star break. The way he's been using the opposite field lately has really added to his game. Of course, his defense has stepped up as well.
His overall season numbers aren't at that level but he's been on fire lately. Whole team heating up at the right time.

Don't know what you're talking about. A&M went up 38-10 and the game ended right?

Yep exactly.
Nvm I'm a dumbass lol
You realize that's a parody account right?
Yeah, I see that now lol I got too excited thinking the Rangers are possibly making another dumb move and wanted to post about it

Yep. And Trayveon was insane that game. Not his fault his coach decided to throw the ball 35 times in the second half with a true freshmen backup QB when we just needed to run out the clock
Had we won, that celebration would have been iconic
Jeeez that game. You could have won by just running play clock down and taking a knee every series

Houston Astros: IF Shay Whitcomb
Infielder David Hensley made his MLB debut on Aug. 27 last year and surprisingly played his way onto the postseason roster by going 10-for-29 with four extra-base hits in a part-time role over the season's final month.
Shay Whitcomb could be that guy in 2023.
The 24-year-old has a .785 OPS with 30 home runs and 87 RBI in 112 games in the upper levels of the minors this season, and he has seen defensive action at second base, shortstop and third base.
Strikeouts have been an issue throughout his pro career, and he has whiffed 150 times this year for a 30.2 percent strikeout rate, but his raw power and defensive versatility could earn him a bench role for the final month.

What's kickin want some chicken?
so looking ahead a little bit on this off day...
Altuve, Bregman, and Tucker are all having great years
it seems like the front office needs to get at least one of them taken care of / extended in the offseason (2023-24)...in order to ease the situation for the following offseason (2024-25)
hard to say among the three...who would be the most receptive to getting something done early....and which player would the front office like to approach first

Bregman is probably the most sense financially based on this years performance and players not ready behind him in the farm system.
I totally get the emotional appeal of Altuve. If deserves factors in, he's your guy. Between starting the transformation, dealing with the scandal, and coming up in the system, there's no competition.

If we don't take care of Altuve I'll never forgive Crane
I know that's an emotional take but he has transformed this organization and started when we were worse than dog ***** Altuve is the greatest Astro ever. Yes I said it.

Just depends on the time and money for each. Altuve is probably the easiest to stomach since he's going getting anything super long at his age.

I don't think many will fight you on this. I assume Altuve isn't looking for 6/180 M. Give him 3 year 75 M with team options for year 4 & 5 at 15 M & a 5 M buyout for each season. Worst case he gets 3/85. Best case he gets 5/105.
There's no reason to extend Altuve early. You don't see vets under contract get extended early to end their career.
I'm with you that he must be kept but do it when the contract expires
