August 2, 20223 yr Everyone one is talking about Odo’s contract being terrible. He’s due to make $6.5M next year. That’s lower-middle class in today’s MLB
August 2, 20223 yr He has some performance clauses that roughly double his salary and buyout. I am not sure if he has met them.

The money isn’t big. But the Astros have several options that provide better value than Odo - less money for the same or better level of performance.

That’s lower-middle class in today’s MLB When you might have to offer JV $35-$40M, have Bregs moving from $11M to $28.5, and have a holes to fill at 1B and LF, every little bit helps.

Yeah I could be wrong, but I thought I read somewhere last night that after 1 more start he should reach those. I can't find where I read that at now though Edit: OK so what I am seeing is he still should be short for awhile at least: 2023 player option includes a $3.25M buyout Option escalates $2M & buyout increases $1M each for: 20, 25, 30 starts, or any game with 12+ outs, max $12.5M/$6.25M 2022 Incentives: $500,000 for 100 innings pitched $1M each for 110, 120, 130, 140, 150 innings pitched $1.25M for 160 innings pitched Edited August 2, 20223 yr by Scraps more info
August 2, 20223 yr Odorizzi's contract bonuses. Spoiler The contract of Odorizzi plays a role here. He’s making $5 million this year (about $1.79 million remaining), but would win $500,000 if he hit 100 innings, plus $1 million each on 110, 120, 130, 140 and 150 innings. Odorizzi is currently at 60 innings, so 120 seems like the likely upper limit. Odorizzi also has a $6.5 million player option with a $3.25 million buyout, but as Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle explains, “Odorizzi’s player option can be exercised at a base salary of $12.5 million.” Dollars and a $6.25 million buyout – but only if he tackles with 30 games where he gets 12 or more outs in 2021-22. After Sunday, Odorizzi has 29 such games in 2021-22.” Given that the pitcher appears to have at least $3 million at stake to get another four-inning start, it was mutually beneficial for the Astros to find a team that would make him more comfortable hitting that threshold and getting a few performance bonuses.

August 2, 20223 yr I can't blame Crane and Click for not wanting to pay him 3 million dollars for his next start when Lance will be back shortly. Edited August 2, 20223 yr by kevwun

August 2, 20223 yr All we need now is a badass centerfielder with a monster bat. Juan Soto is a badass centerfielder with a monster bat. Coincidence? Meyers, Urquidy or Javier and another 10-20 level prospect. Do it.

August 2, 20223 yr Haven't seen anything on socials yet from the Bregmans about their baby on the way.....hoping the best for Alex and Reagan.

August 2, 20223 yr I think Michael Taylor would likely be the best CF improvement that wouldn't cost much in prospects. +9 DRS in CF and has a career high BB%, and hitting a solid .280/.352/.395. Wouldn't be shocked if his StatCast data shows he would have double digit HRs in MMP compared to Kaufmann. Yep. he'd have 10 in MMP. Also. signed for a respectable $4.5M next year.

August 2, 20223 yr And a career wRC+ of 82. This is only the second season in his career he hasn’t been below average. I don’t really see him as an upgrade.
August 2, 20223 yr 3 minutes ago, The Dog said: and he's under contract through next year. and his career OPS of .686 is underwhelming. I don't see the point in trading for him when we already have a better hitting CF in McCormick.

August 2, 20223 yr I think Click was smart to move yesterday instead of fucking around waiting for Contreras/Bell. Or maybe the cost was nuts anyway.
August 2, 20223 yr Just a fyi … 3 minutes ago, Scraps said: Looks like Soto and Bell to SD so mark them off lol padres bulking up !

August 2, 20223 yr I will always like Michael A. Taylor for kicking the Cubs in the dick in the 2017 playoffs.

San Diego will send back rookie shortstop C.J. Abrams, top outfield prospect Robert Hassell III, right-hander Jarlin Susana and top outfield prospect James Wood, according to Morosi.

August 2, 20223 yr Those Padres shipped to DC must be pretty good to net that haul. But I share in being happy Soto didn't end up in NY or LA.
August 2, 20223 yr The two outfielders are highly ranked, but are young and both are still in A ball.
August 2, 20223 yr Seems like only yesterday when Freddy Galvis and Wil Myers were the best players on the Padres roster.
August 2, 20223 yr The Pads shoving all in. Don't know enough about their ownership, but damn they're going to have some expensive contracts.
August 2, 20223 yr 4 minutes ago, HtownHorn said: Should see movement on Contreras now. Can't see the Click having any interest in him after Vazquez/Mancini trades.
