Let’s get this out of the way… FODB.

Now for the players… Altuve, Bregs, Yordan and Abreau are not going anywhere. Right? Tucker seemed completely disinterested… like his ole lady cheated on him or some shite (just as an example).

I have no reason to doubt Houston will be back in it, but the roster needs some shake up and Houston needs a solid #1 pitcher.

I honestly don’t know, the easy button is Espada.

I think some new voices need to be in there though.

Whoever aligns with Brown’s strategy

Yes. He seems slightly aloof on the mound sometimes, but when he’s on he’s dead nuts.

Change is good and inevitable. I’m very curious which direction they go in.

At some point the Angels are bound to be good again, Texas is set up for a minute and Seattle isn’t going away. The west (outside of the A’s who will be a few years away still) is really strong.

How about a 5-hole hitter with an ISO higher than 110

The Angels are probably going to be in quite the hole after Ohtani is gone. They may finally be headed for the rebuild they need in the next year or two

A corner OF and SP depth are the only real holes likely to be filled, along with probably a veteran backup C for Diaz. Reactionary fan takes aside it’s highly unlikely Tucker, Pena, Framber, etc are going anywhere. Neris is likely to be a FA too so a reliever is likely as well.

Astros still have all their guys signed. Unfortunately they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon

Roommate with Bregman in college. The Astros might do something Paul Mainieri couldn’t do…win a title with he and Bregman on the same team.

If Maldy swallows his pride I would take him back in a back up role to Diaz. Pena is more than capeable of being the stud he was last year. Idk what to do with Tucker definitely don’t give him the extension he was wanting in the off-season. I’m excited to get Garcia back he can be a solid 2/3 and with LMJ I’m just hoping he can pitch again would be great to have him

I love Nola but he’s way to inconsistent for the contract he’s gonna want no way we should overpay for him
