McMagic is right and the correct analogy for this Yankees team is the Harden Rockets.

The most important quote from this article - the Astros had a trade for Wilson Contreras agreed upon and Dusty nixed it.quote:The Astros and Chicago Cubs were in agreement on a trade to send star catcher Willson Contreras to the Astros for starter Jose Urquidy, four sources familiar with the deal told ESPN. The straight-up trade was agreed upon, pending owner approval. That approval never came. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34957984/2022-world-series-how-dusty-baker-astros-beat-phillies Edit: JFC - I'm very glad this wrapped up in 6. quote:"Me, Yuli and Altuve all would've been out of the lineup tomorrow," Bregman said to Brantley after the game.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Which quarter zip did you get? I’ve worn the same Majestic brand 1/4 Hoodie Pullover since 2016/2017 and it’s getting super worn out. It’s not one of the weird thin golf-style ones, it’s a nice waffle-knit that iirc was their batting practice/bench hoodie because it’s got the stitched line you can cut to make it a short sleeve. I have a Vineyard Vines 2017 Champs Pullover but it looks like they don't have it this year. Peter Millar has a bunch too. I got this one. https://www.fanatics.com/mlb/housto...AVE:i-r0c2:po-2 Sab0921 fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Nov 7, 2022 |

Sydin posted:No they wanted to trade Contreras pretty badly, but the consensus is that the asking price was way too high and when it came down to the final hour the only team that was seriously still interested was the Mets, who after getting absolutely fleeced by the Cubs for Javy last year were not willing to trade any of their actually good prospects so the Cubs walked. They came to an agreement to trade him to Houston for Urquiddy. Dusty nixed the trade. I would have liked to see it from a purely salt mining perspective from this thread.

Astros should re-sign JV and then sign Kershaw, each to 3 year deals imo. Kershaw prob wants to pitch closer to home anyway. I think Verlander and Upton like Houston - so hopefully they choose to stay. They were gushing about the city and fans on WS post game show and I think they live here in the offseason already - so maybe they like it here and just want to stay.

Big Mean Jerk posted:JV’s going to wear either pinstripes or a much brighter blue next season. This FO doesn’t shell out for big pitching deals and they aren’t going to start with him. They don’t even shell out in general unless they’re a core position player, and even then they still undervalue the contracts to be fairly team-friendly (Yordan, Altuve and Bregman at the moment of signing). The Astros shell out for big money short term deals which is exactly what Verlander will get - 3/90 or something. They don't do long term deals like Kershaw or Harper got - but that's not an issue here. Sign JV, sign Vasquez, sign Brantley, Yuli retires, sign Rizzo to be 1B. Lineup: Altuve, Bregman, Yordan, Tucker, Brantley, Rizzo, Pena, Vasquez, Chaz SP: JV, Framber, Javier, McCullers, Urquiddy/Brown/Garcia

You can still cheer for your team well recognizing lovely things. gently caress Tom Ricketts I wish he would sell the team but I'm not gonna stop being a Cubs fan. You recall trading for Aroldis Chapman as the final piece to deliver the Cubs a World Series right? Baseball orgs are filled with bad people who do bad things - except Jose who is perfect and spending his week with cancer patients who love him deeply

So Kershaw is going to get re-signed for less $20MM which feels like a loving steal for a guy who pitched 120 innings last year with a 184 ERA+ and a WHIP less than 1.
