I think the odds are high Verlander is back. Crane already said he would be calling him and I know they are close. I don’t think Verlander has a desire to play anywhere else if we are going to give him what he’s worth which I expect Crane to make sure of. 2 years for 80 mil or so seems about right. Whether that’s a good idea or not is a separate discussion but when Crane wants to intervene in the front office part he typically gets what he wants.
That doesn’t leave a ton of money to play with under the tax with raises for Bregman, Yordan and arbitration eligible guys. Something like maybe 20-30 mil? If Verlander is gone then we can really shoot for the stars in the position player group because the rotation is so deep.

Smart decision would be to let JV walk. I don't bet on 40 year Olds to sustain success for very long. He will never be as good as he was this year again.

That's high, considering his age. He was at $25M this year. I also think he's wanting more than two years, he wants to pitch until he's 45 and win 300 games.
I'd give him that chance, 4/$100M with a mutual option for a 5th. And even that seems nuts for a 40 year old pitcher.

I completely agree. Verlander seems to have no desire at all to be on a Yankee or Dodger type team. I think he very much likes the Astros culture and I can see why. It seems to be a very family friendly culture and they seem to truly be all about the team rather than the individual. Plus, like Kate said...who wants to be on a team where your own fans Boo you? Nobody!
