Mookie’s a free agent after this coming season too. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the Astros to sign Betts for what is likely to be around $325-350 million (for the same reason that they aren’t going to seriously pursue Cole).

  • Here's the thing that makes me absolutely livid about this... Cheating happens all the time in baseball. At all levels. All levels. The MLB itself cheats the game by juicing the ball. Players juiced t

    It's not the end, I agree. The Astros are still sacks of giant shit, though.  Shame on them.

    Very sad to see that the Astros are basically dipshit cheaters from the top down. Hey, at least the Black Sox are happy that someone else is wearing their crown of infamy.

Yeah, it wasn’t to be taken seriously.

I wish it were...

I’d rather Cole go to the Yankees than the Angels. We play the MFY 6 times a year vs 19 regular season games vs the Angels, Goal #1 is to make the playoffs. While the Angels have a little ways to go to be a perennial contender, getting Cole, along with Trout and Ohtani, would be a good start. 

Also, this

 

I don't think 35 million per season makes the Yankees the front runner.  That offer is less than I was expecting them to throw at him.

$35mm/yr seems about right. The Angels might go an extra year. 8/$280mm

Get ready for some May Sunday night baseball.

May 17 vs MFY

May 24 at BOS

 

But oof at that travel

Sunday night against the Yankees in Houston. Play in Toronto the next night.

 

Next Sunday night in Boston. Play Oakland in Houston with a 6:10 Memorial Day start the next day

This didn’t age well. I guess he’s gettin 8/$300mm. 

LuLz Cha Ching for Cole. He needs to send the Nats a muffin basket. 

The Astros are one of the clubs “monitoring” free-agent right-hander Josh Lindblom’s market, Jon Morosi of MLB Network tweets. The 32-year-old struggled in the majors before heading to Korea and thriving there over the past couple seasons. Now that he’s on the open market, MLBTR predicted at the start of the offseason that the Astros would sign Lindblom, a spin rate darling. That’s something the Astros seem to value. Plus, with Gerrit Cole and Wade Miley currently unsigned, the Astros have openings in their starting staff.

stros trading Correa and reddick in a package for an ace. Speculation is Thor with Mets but not sure. Targeting Donaldson and moving breg to short. Don’t post on twitter but should be quic, prob tonigjt

 

do with that what you want but he has never been wrong and gotte. Grienke trade, martes steroids, Miley signing, joe smith injury, Pressly and bregman extension and more right. I trust him

good, send daniella too

There must be a lot more in that package than Correa and Reddick. You have to include Reddick to be able to take on additional salary but he's a big net minus in any trade. Probably at least one of our pitchers who bounced between AAA and Houston last year. 

Not sure why the Mets would want Correa, unless they plan to move him to 3rd. Rosario has improved in every season at SS. I guess they could move him to another team to recoup the loss of Syndergaard.

I'd be fine with that trade for prospects and then sign Rendon. We'll find a pitcher somewhere else. 

Why not trade him for trout ?

seems legit 

as is, our left side of the infield is elite. Huge step back moving bregman to SS and I’m guessing toro to 3rd ?

I doubt it. A healthy Correa is an MVP candidate. If the Mets want Correa, then they take Reddicks contract also. Possibly Correa could eventually sign there.

Also says reddick salary could be reallocated to Donaldson. And Mets was speculation, he just knows high tier arm

The Salary cap. I would love this, but not happening.

Don't see this. This is the exact opposite of the Astros FO think tank. Not going to give a an aging player a big 4 year contract.

Yes, but you're assuming a healthy Correa which is not a thing.

That was my thought as well. The Reds are in need of a SS. I'd take him and Garrett for Correa and Reddick.

Source also says we traded for a reliever from Baltimore but not announced yet

Man I think I like it but I don't know how to feel. A healthy Correa is A-Rod level talent. But he hasn't been healthy so far.

He can go be A-Rod level talented in Cincy and I won’t give two shits if we get Castillo in return.
