It will be something like when greinke signed with ARI for mad money. Will be a team no one is really expecting with payroll to blow so they throw it at him.


Dear sweet T-ball playing Jesus... please let the Rangers sign Yu Darvish on a Long-term $30Mil/year contract.

Not great but he is in the Fall stars game tonight live on MLBN at 7.


I love the Astros, but I have a prior engagement scheduled for that time slot.

Jose Bautista is officially a free agent. Anyone? He hasn't been particularly good the past couple years. I'm not even sure the Crawford Boxes could resurrect him. He did still walk 86 times last year but mehh.

Before the postseason, someone posted the Astros only needed to notch an 11-8 record to win a World Series.

What did the Astros do? Go 11-7.

Go Stros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pettis’ boy ran a punt back for Washington tonight and did the windmill “send em home” arm when he got into the end zone

Are we going to be able to get in the running with Otani? I thought we couldn’t sign any int free agents for over 250k. MLB trade rumors had him as a possible signing this offseason as a DH/RHP

Is everyone thinking the most likely scenario is a semi cheap LHP and RHP reliever this offseason and then save for extensions?

We can’t give anyone a bonus larger than $300k, and there are ~12 other teams who can’t either. The max bonus he can’t get is $10M so it’s unlikely we get him.

Im never one to look in the numbers, but what does the Astros checking account look like and what are they able to spend?

Really curious what position he plays... Throws 100mph and hits 400ft bombs...

Do you put him at one position and hope he becomes elite or play him at two and hope he is good.
