MLB Network: Against the top 25 pitchers in OPS+ against this season, Abreu was the best hitter in baseball last season at .359 with a .904 OPS.

The Astros are busy. Per sources, the team has reached out to free agent center fielder Brandon Nimmo.




Don't know that Schwab has actual sauces tho

Wow. Wpuld be a pipe dream but a big time add that checks a ton of boxes. Only question on him is injury history but high on base guy can bat LH and play CF

Nimmo would be a score.

No one would complain about having the player but the price (years and dollars) would suck in this market. I have no doubt BDJ is kicking all tires in free agency though.

If no JV, that's still plenty enough for Contreras and Brantley. I love JV but I'd love that 1-8 even more.


Y'all know FODB isn't going to play Contreras every day if we get him. LMAO!

Agreed. They will be checking on everyone. Nimmo may end up the most overpaid of anyone in this FA class.

I think between C and DH he would play as much as the other regulars, so 1 to 2 days off per week.

Nimmo is just agent work

And the Astros don’t mind getting used in his case

Let them pay as much as they are willing

But no way in Hell is that a serious negotiation. Not in this CF market

After Abreu, I’m ready to take a semi-competitive shot at JV and let it ride.

The ball will be in JV’s court

How much is winning WS Championships worth to him? His time in Houston? His prime pay for 2 seasons he didn’t perform? The tax break he gets in TX?

I expect none of those things matter at all. And that doesn’t bother me, b/c I think his money is better spent elsewhere

Hunter Brown is a clone that just needs the experience and won’t cost anything for awhile. He could be Pena-like in replacing JV

Offense needs more attention. JV is a luxury, a welcomed one, but the rotation should be fine without him if it comes to that.

CF is already fine with healthy internal options. Another FA bat who can play LF or C would be great.

Well, Crane is literally talking with Contreras' people. It could happen. BDJ is in charge now.

Oh I’m not doubting that. But as Judge Smails put it, he will DH. And he will like it.
