That's several years too early. Brown has what? 3 more seasons or arbitration?

Never too early to start negotiations, I guess

I'm going to guess he's looking to re-up and get a major increase 2 years early (including the option of sign and trade)

Would be a cheap extension we could do and get a couple of extra years, added to it. Buy out the arbitration and then add a couple of years of decent money.

Yeah, I had to be in LA this week. They are insufferable.

If we want to win a WS next year we HAVE TO SIGN THIS MAN AGAIN!!!
No matter what!
Epstein didn't do, you know, the thing...
I'm the rare Astros/Cowboys/Spurs fan. We do exist

Maybe the Astros told him they wanted to look into signing an extension this off-season to make it a little cheaper overall, so he got himself representation.

Maybe Montero can legally change his name to Will Smith so he can bring more value for his contract?

Diaz and Hunter Brown are the two I'd try to extend now before their price skyrockets

Do what the Braves have done and lock up your young talent early

After what happened with the Javier and LMJ extensions, I would hope they would have learned to wait and see 2 good years in a row before handing out more money

Since its book-ended by the catcher , maybe the streak is over.

I'm kind of over the pitcher extensions. He will inevitably miss one of those seasons with TJ. It's the sad reality of baseball these days. If he does give you a strong 3 seasons then take the pick and wish him the best of luck.

If Crane is going to spend, I think someone posted some better options than Bellinger in the last couple weeks.

No way we give Bregman 7/185. It's a lower AAV with the extra year but I can't see that contract happening.

Personally i dont care for Jim Crane. butI think he is by far the best owner we have ever had. I think he is committed to signing the best players he can. If he wasnt he would sell the team. He is not here just to watch a mediocre team. I think we get Bregman back. I think he signs a outfielder. I think Tucker is gone. I think we get a first baseman.
Next year we will be competitive. In playoffs. .

I'd just buy out the 3 arb years and then try to add 2-3 years. So like a 6 year extension like they did with Bregman, Javier and Yordan.

He opted out of that faster than he covers 1st base on a grounder

I bet the dodgers get Cole for like $5 and deferred money
Mathguy64

Something tells me that Cole Virgil Cole doesn't play for deferred money.

Seriously though. Who is going to pay him more than his already massive contract? In a year after he was injured? The list of possible teams is very very short.

I didn't realize Cole had an opt out. Given his defensive lollygagging and the fact he missed most of the season with an elbow issue, is pretty ballsy/arrogant to pull the ripcord. If the Yankees call his bluff and don't pick up the option, then he may not get a better contract than he has.

maybe he wants to come home to Houston where he was actually good.

Yanks decline Rizzo's option....any interest? I think I'd pass in favor of our current rotational approach.

Also, someone please start the offseason thread. Time to bury this one.

Cole can get ****ed and take his Boras cap anywhere but here. He made sure to torch that bridge on his way out.

LH 1B/OF option if we move on from Singleton?

also maybe a 1 year "Grienke-ish" deal with Ground Chuck if he wants to be rotation insurance in AAA?

Pretty sure he said once his contract was up he was retiring

That makes sense too. Still one of my faves from the golden era.
