You guys realize the Royals won a title in the last decade, right? Nothing says they can't have him as the centerpiece and build around him. They're not exactly in the most competitive division.

As said, Overland Park is every bit as nice as the Woodlands, which I also lived in.
The BP hats this year are badass
Hats is the one thing on this thread that I just don't see eye to eye with many.

I would look ridiculous in that hat and would never buy it but I still think it's a cool looking hat
I am also very picky on my hats. I actually really liked last years ST hats but didn't pull the trigger because I have too many hats as it isLonestar_Ag09 said:

The time to sign Tucker would have been the offseason between 21 and 22 at the latest. Now he's way too close to free agency. If we would have offered a deal similar to Witt Jr, Tucker might be here long term. Now I think it'll take signing TED until around 38-40 to keep him.
Yep. Should have done it between 2021 and 2022. He would have taken the Yordan type of extension
Astros tried. He didn't take it. He wants to hit free agency

Well aware..... but like claiming orange texas is better than Sulphur Louisiana. Same old boring place
If you were "well aware" why did you say Kansas?
Nice work Rand McNally.
Never saw that we made an offer… what was it?
Don't think that it was every put out what the exact offer or what his asking was. Just that they did not come to terms.tjack16 said:

I'm just curious if it was a lowball offer that he would have been stupid to accept or if it was an actual competitive offer.
Like the 6/120 initial offer or 5/160 to Correa which he in no way would have ever accepted
Used to travel to that area for work. It's really nice.OPAG said:

I think it's because there is a craphole scale and Oakland is not quite at the bottom. Cleveland and Detroit are run of the mill craphole. Oakland has elevated that to an art form.
The hilarious part is that LA was so craptastic the Raiders left there to go back to Oakland.

The mayor of Las Vegas doesn't have any actual authority over the deal because the strip isn't in the city limits.
Sounds like she's mad the As didn't want her piece of land in the city limits.BQ07MM said:RED AG 98 said:

I went to Cleveland a couple years ago and didn't understand why so many people **** all over it. It was a fun place. Ballpark was actually really nice as well.TarponChaser said:Mathguy64 said:

My first guess is always Alex Bregman. So the last few days have been tough but today was easy

I live 15 miles from Oakland. There is a lot of money and suburbs in the Oakland area that could support a team easily. The entire Bay Area isn't a massive homeless camp like TexAgs or the media would have you think.
One of the biggest hurdles is that the Giants own the rights to build in almost every city outside of Oakland proper and will not budge to allow the A's to build in the surrounding counties. The A's owner could also make it work Alameda county, but he is clearly motivated to tank the team, spurn the city government who want to work with him, and move to Vegas.
Something I've observed living here is, Oakland fans >>>SF fans. I feel so bad for friends and neighbors who have seen the Raiders, Warriors, and now A's leave. Most Oakland fans are die hard, lifelong fans, with character. Most SF fans are all corporate tech bro types with zero passion.
I'll miss seeing the Astros 10 times a year when they move. The fans in Oakland deserve so much more than this.

In a crucial offseason for the #Astros shortstop, Jeremy Peña is working as hard as ever on his swing and his body.
At @DST_Houston, I joined Peña for a workout to learn the secrets behind his methods & his muscles 💪🏼 pic.twitter.com/8ZSviH4VsM
Kershaw back to the dodgers
Being a gym rat doesn't automatically equal success but it does show that the player is willing to put in the work to try. The stuff he regurgitated about his swing sounds like every player every offseason. I think his improvement from year 1 to year 2 will continue in year 3. It's just a matter of finding that pop again.
