Throw them $2mil each, if our international signing budget allows it. Have yordan (and hopefully yuli) deliver their checks 

 

hmm, if they’re free agents, they don’t count against your international players allowance ?

All international amateur players are free agents and count towards each team’s signing budget. That announcement is just MLB making them eligible to join the pool.

I wonder, in a philosophical sense, if a guy like Castro or Brantley feels like they are a world champ after missing half the year and all the playoffs while being in their walk year and maybe not coming back to the team. 
I know they get a ring, but I wonder how they feel? 

i try not to waste time wondering how professional athletes feel.

I hope Brantley appreciated the active players dragging him into the team photos. Also the impact the speech apparently had that he gave in the world series is enough imo.

I think I am a pretty knowledgeable fan when it comes to recognizing who players are league wide because i watch so many games not just Astros, play fantasy baseball, and am into sports collectibles (baseball cards etc) and I have never fucking heard of this loser fuck.

I like that signing for them more than the Seager signing last year. Any year DeGrom is healthy he will likely be worth that. They are a big market team and make plenty of money from their tv deal, way more than us. 
i mean- he will probably pitch 300 innings over the course of that deal and fuck them big time, but it’s not a bad contract or number if healthy.

Would you make that bet?

If I was them?  Maybe. They have to overpay for big talent. They can’t get a guy like Abreu to sign 3/58 deals because they are a joke. If they can get into the WC then maybe they can start filling in with some more mid tier guys and not have to overpay. 
They are on a fast track to nowhere and have the money. Their opportunity costs are low enough I might make that bet.
