Intruder posted:Jim Crane is listed as giving only $25K and it's supposedly bipartisan but I find that hard to believe considering the guy was sued for hiring practices regarding minorities and his company was sued and settled out of court for literal war profiteering He also has a smaller Dem contribution further down the list, so my guess is that it’s just standard legal bribery designed to keep the team in the city’s good graces. I have absolutely no doubt that Crane personally is a huge racist chud based on his history though.

What I want the Astros to do in the offseason: - Non-tender Osuna - Be aggressive about resigning George - Failing the above, try to sign Brantley to a 2/3 year deal - Try to extend Correa. He’s an injury nightmare but if you’re going to lose Springer then you’ll need him offensively and he’s a solid defender. Plus, that’ll secure the IF nucleus for a while. What they’ll probably actually do: - Somehow keep Osuna around forever - Let Brantley and Springer walk after incredibly weak negotiations - Never even broach the subject of an extension with Correa - Buy some smaller, more discreet cans

General Bullshit posted:I look forward to the impending strike and I hope it destroys the league as it currently exists forever. The worst thing about the inevitable strike though is that MLB and the owners have been prepping public opinion for well over a decade to instantly turn on the greedy, selfish players and the MLBPA is too toothless to try and fight that perception.

Shiroc posted:I was only in Denver for a weekend but based on how people talked about 'Nolan', trading him to any team seems like it would be hugely damaging. It feels like an *intensely* larger value to the Rockies to try to keep him and make him happy enough than trying to get even a really good prospect return. I mean this is the same league where Mookie was traded for peanuts and Lindor has been shopped around for three years. Owners don’t give a gently caress about fan happiness because they know you’ll eventually come crawling back out of misplaced ~*team loyalty*~.

No Safe Word posted:I don't have a sub so ... what are these trades exactly? (And since it's one per team I'm sad that the Bagwell trade won't be listed since obviously the Babe Ruth trade is worse and probably #1) The Astros one is trading Joe Morgan.

For a second I thought this was Kyle Tucker’s brother, only to find out that this guy also has a brother in the MLB system. Now I’m wondering what the highest number of MLB brother pairs ever in the league (including majors and minor affiliates) at the same time is. My guess is it might be more common than you think, especially in cases where a club signs a star player’s younger sibling as a way of currying favor.

I know the responses will never actually be read by human eyes, but it felt pretty cathartic to just blast Manfred and MLB in every question asked by that email survey. I also genuinely wonder how many people are going to end up mixing up Mike Trout and Pete Alonso when tasked with identifying either.

fast cars loose anus posted:I'm trying to figure out if I want to care about the Astros if they're not gonna re-sign Springer. World Series MVP* homegrown talent and you're gonna let him walk? gently caress off. I haven’t kept up with a single baseball thing outside this thread since the season ended because I know it’ll only bring pain and misery, and things like this are why. Crane was handed the perfect excuse to accelerate the next tank phase that was clearly already in the works, and after everything else from the last few years there’s basically zero reason to be emotionally invested in the team in any way now. Just pretend Houston baseball does not exist anymore. I can’t even derive any joy from Cleveland games anymore because those fuckers sold off the heart of the team just to save a few dimes and they managed to manufacture the most absolutely despicable and cowardly way to finally make a franchise change that should have been done decades ago. This has been an absolute banner decade for “gently caress All Billionaires” and every headline coming out of this offseason just makes me want to throw hands at the nearest rich piece of poo poo.
