7 years is too much for a 31 year old. I wonder he'd accept more per season to get it down to 5 or 6?
What is a Run Prevention Coordinator?
Defense yes offence no splash
Love the new intro song! You should keep it for the foreseeable future!
Matt Chapman is only getting 25 million a year
If they’re not extending Tucker this year resigning bregman is no brainer honestly I’m the Astros I think you should be hungry for the third ring three always means dynasty in all sports don’t worry about it 7 years from now the window is until 2027 spend as much money as possible to milk and build around Altuves retirement bregman already made 30 mil last year sign him to the 38 million he can b trash for his last 3 or four but I think he can still bregman for at last 3 more seasons verlander off the books is freeing up 22 million why not instead of letting that money sit sign another ace what’s 8 million more dollars sign burnes sign o Hearn or bell for like 10 million more dollars sign kikuchi for cheap in all the Astros pay roll will go up what 20 million more dollars still would be 4th in the mlb in pay roll I think the Astros r still good I think they just had a real sluggish on motivated injury riddled season
Why does any of this even matter? Just give Breggy and Tucker what they want and defer it so we're only have $2 million against the cap; or are the Dodgers and Yankees the only teams allowed to buy championships?
Bregman already breaking down. How can someone that starts out hitting barrly above .200 for 1/3 of the season burying us 10 games back be worth the bank for 7 seasons? That's a sure way for us NOT to compete in the future. Too much greed in this game. Bregman starts out too slow and in a good division we'd been even further out. I might go up to 25m a year 4 years max. If he eants 7 years Id offer 20 per. These players talk sbout winning, but do rverything they can to hold the team hostage for every little penny. I'd trade any player with that attitude. They are a cancer to the team.
I hate hearing about player security when they already have not only millions, BUT hundreds of millions in the bamk. Please stop with the security nonsense. I'd be secure with a measly ONE million dollars.
Mets are perfect for Alex Bregman, $300 Million 10 years. New York is his People especially Wall Street. Star of David.
Why do you want to sign Alex bregman he can't even give you 30 home runs and 100 RBI…. YORDAN NEEDS HELP ….WE NEED A BIG BAT.. Let 3 base grow with a rookie we can fill another position and and have stronger hitter BREGMAN struggle a lot
Hes not resigning man….hes gonna get 30+ at least 8 years imo. I think we're probably gonna cap it at 4 years 125. Can't imagine Jim Crane offering a deal that passes age 35. Not his philosophy. Altuve was the exception. We need to extend Tucker and sign Mountcastle if we can't resign Bregman. We also need to make a trade for a better CF. Pena and Meyers need to be traded before they lose all their value. Go get Luis Robert
