My offseason priorities would be signing Springer and Brantley, and extending Correa. I think it's feasible, but probably eliminates the possibility of any high-priced free agents.

Archer would be a decent target for a reclamation project.

Dee Gordon might be a cheaper OF option, he's certainly not going to be extended for $14MM.

Garrett Richards would be a top target of mine... he's not too old and has had success before in the AL West.

Jimmy Nelson is another intriguing option, if he's healthy.

If Springer moves on, I'd love to go for DJ LeMahieu and move Altuve to the OF, but that might not go over well with Jose.

Altuve to the OF






Oof. Imagine how many balls would sail over him and get to the wall for extra bases.

Did you forget what they already have tied up between Bregman, Altuve, Greinke, and Verlander?

I think it’s feasible they sign Springer to a solid deal, but it’ll have to be one of the two. I think you throw all effort at Springer because I don’t trust Correa to resign anyway. I think he eventually ends up in Miami with Jeter and the eventual money they will be spending.

Someone mentioned it earlier, I think Springer ends up with the Mets and when it’s time, I expect a long process when Correa is a FA that the Astros ultimately lose out on considering Miami has more appeal than Houston overall as far as optics go. Which I think is important to Correa.
