  • 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.

He also didn't say no.  The most important part of statements are what they don't say.  Luhnow has to prepare in case the deal falls through.  I'm sure he would have preferred it not leak until it was done.

Who says Correa is a "core" player??

He could have simply said "We are not trading Carlos Correa."  But he didn't.

Yeah “don’t worry and enjoy your _____” is what you say to someone when you are in separate countries until you have a chance to be together face to face

Jeff Luhnow with the discrete vote of confidence. I like it 

Sounds like the Angels are close to signing Rendon  I never thought there was any possibility he would be an Astro

 

Cole to Yankees, Rendon to Angels and no movement on Glass Pussy within 24 hrs makes this shitty offseason even shittier.

Fucking do something.

Not that I don’t believe you but not seeing it in Twitterverse. Source?

It was from the mlb thread, but it was a fake twitter account apparently.  Rendon's deal isn't done yet.

rendon always seemed outside Luhnows MO. Extending springer and signing Donaldson seems more likely

I would be livid if the Astros ever did a deal like this.

I’d prefer this deal over the Cole contract.

Yeah, but seven years is still not great for a guy who turns 30 in June.

It's great for him, though. Well done.

I wonder if there's a team option.

I haven't kept in the loop of the beginning of free agency. Who are the Astros realistic top targets? Also, if Correa was to be traded has it been said the teams interested and players the Astros would get in return? 

35 mil for rendon. Lolz god some dumb money thrown around. Must be nice

Jason Castro and 2 bum RP's at this point it seems.

Maybe a shitty starter also!

I think Donaldson just turned into a hot commodity for the Nats or Rangers and will get multiple yr contract now for a fuckton overpay. Not sure we are in that business

I did some division, Rendon will get paid about 46,600$ per AB. 

Cole will get about 12,000$ per single pitch. 

I wonder if the owners came to a decision that they'd rather have contracts like this instead of a strike because that's where things were headed.

The Angels signing Rendon was pretty stupid.  I mean they have one of the worst starting rotations in baseball.  I saw someone on twitter post that they probably could have gotten Bumgarner AND Ryu for the amount they paid for Rendon.  But Arte Moreno gon Arte Moreno.

There is still going to be a strike.
The top tier of players are getting paid...the rest (e.g. the vast majority) still arent

So far we have lost Brandon Bailey, Yohan Ramirez, and Jonathan Arauz to the rule 5 draft.  We passed and did not select anyone with our pick

Seasick and me are both reading twitter at the same time apparently 

Today is Luis Castillos Bday....let's give him a gift by bringing him to Houston plz

I think has more to do with Strasburg, Cole, and Rendon being the kind of players you can build a franchise around while Machado and Harper are not.

fwiw...

11:45am: President of baseball operations Jon Daniels addressed the topic of third base today, as Jeff Wilson of the Forth Worth Star Telegram reports (Twitter links). Daniels acknowledged that “it sucks” to have missed on Rendon.

Looking forward, Daniels offered a possible acknowledgement that the organization isn’t simply checking down to Donaldson — though that’s only one possible interpretation. “I wouldn’t assume that we necessarily view the options exactly as they are portrayed publicly,” he said.

11:03am: The Rangers are believed to be exiting the hunt for Josh Donaldson, according to Levi Weaver of The Athletic (via Twitter). Indication is that the club isn’t willing to keep pace with the bidding and is “likely out” on Donaldson.

It seems there’s ongoing action in the third base market even as the Winter Meetings draw to a close. Anthony Rendon signed last night, spurning the Rangers and other pursuers to go to the Angels. Now, the club’s top alternative seems destined to move along.

Donaldson, who just turned 34, has drawn many of the same suitors as did Rendon, along with a few additional interested teams. He has long been expected to receive a big annual salary over at least three guaranteed seasons, with the major question being whether or not he can secure a fourth.

RGBIII-

Ask your source what the fuck is going on please.  

I am tired of refreshing twitter 100,000 times

Every so often I randomly mutter "we were just eight outs away."

They didn't win a home game either, and that's something they'll never be able to take away from us.

Houston Astros: only team to win a WS game in DC in past 86 years!

This is a pretty clear indication that the 26th roster spot will go to Stubbs as a 3rd catcher. The problem is that we don’t have a starter as of right now
