The Rangers and the Guardians are the two teams most in jeopardy of losing their rights deals with Diamond Sports Group, the parent company of the Bally regional sports networks. The Guardians received $55 million from that deal in 2023, according to cleveland.com. The average value of the Rangers' 20-year contract, which began with the 2011 season, reportedly is $111 million.

If Diamond drops those two clubs, they could be broadcast by Major League Baseball in 2024, as the Padres and Diamondbacks were last season. Or, the teams could strike a deal with another broadcaster to carry games. Neither team at the moment, though, has any idea of what its 2024 broadcast revenue will be.

Beyond Altuve, I would listen to all offers for any player. Why not? No harm in listening.

Yordan?.?

There’s no indication that the Astros are seriously considering trading any of their established major league talent, but not listening to what other clubs offer would be negligent. One name makes more sense than others - https://t.co/a58ubVMTbv

There is no indication the Astros are discussing either pitcher in trades or that Crane has issued a directive to shed payroll

If Crane said he will sign off but you have to trade Framber would you do it?

Last post of the morning. We can all have a good laugh.

According to MLB radio, Bellinger is looking for a contract around 12 years, $252M, just figured I’d share

No, we're not equipped to win a title without Framber in 24 and 25. Unless we're going to go sign Yamamoto, Snell, or Monty. Or maybe trade for Cease.

---

Keep Framber and sign Yamamoto while extending Tuck

---

Just a 500 M commitment.

If you think that the Astros are moving away from analytics, they promoted a person who studied lasers and atomic pressures to their head of Research and Development.

That is who JJ Ruby is. https://t.co/ZgvFeMHKzG pic.twitter.com/BA4OdDyAi0

So the analytics nerds are looking into how to hit more nukes?

I am currently the Lead Innovator for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball (MLB). Previously I was a Lawrence postdoctoral fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures(CMAP). I received a B.S. in Astrophysics and Planetary Science form Villanova University and an M.A. and PhD in Physics from the University of Rochester, where I conducted my graduate research at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics performing experiments on the Omega Laser system.

My research interests are best summarized by the categorization of "applied information theory" which, in practice, means attempting to best understand how to extract information from complex data-sets to test our models of how nature works. My work exists at the interface between experimental physics and theoretical physics mixed with a strong dose of computational statistics. My research record includes work in astrophysics, high-energy-density physics, and now has recently moved into dynamical systems. The common theme among all these systems is working with complicated data, which require an appreciation for the mechanisms of measurement and the distributions of uncertainty associated with them and which require non-trivial models to interpret and understand.

Historically methods of dedicated prediction and experimentation, where individual variables can be isolated and tested, were given preference in the physical sciences but modern experiments and theories require special care with how conclusions are drawn given measurements/observations. Embracing a global view of model selection and self-consistency within analysis opens pathways to gaining information about system that would otherwise be off limits to rigorous scientific experimentation. My interests are in pushing the boundaries of what we are currently capable of in a rigorous and scalable way to enable the next generation of scientific thought. The stage for this work has been set by many previous researchers in the mid-late 20th century, but only within the last decade have the computational tools become sufficiently prevalent to make this kind of work the standard for scientists everywhere.
