So basically you want to run it back again and hope it works out better with maybe Bellinger who is a COLLOSSALLY risky signing. I'm sure that will work out.

It's a much better plan than dump/sell everyone but Judge and Volpe and then try to compete with 29 other teams to fill in the other 7 spots.

Who are they dumping in that scenario with even a positive VORP other than Torres?

Give me names of 5 players they could get that would be better.

e: oh wait you acknowledged you have no idea which free agents are even available. So we're back to having no plan.

Curious about what I'm supposed to post? I just listed a list of mid tier FA's they should look at. Should i make up trades like a sports talk radio caller? you don't as a fan have enough information to judge the trade market.

I don't want you to post anything. My post was a joke

Not gonna lie, getting Ohtani would be pretty loving close to a high as winning a world series

Starting Andrew Heaney in the world series and winning really is something else. Congrats to Not the Astros i guess

Is it time for Stro to fulfill his destiny and become Astroman?

Nah Crane will pinch pennies and run Urquidy out there

I think Brown has said that the rotation is already set up for next year. Astros will focus on replacing relief pitching and a backup catcher....exciting.

I hope Votto catches on somewhere and gets a ring but I don't know where he could go where they need a 1B and also are in the running

e: I mean catches on where he can start, not riding the bench to a ring

Votto and Grienke not getting rings is a tragedy

And yet he's the "best" available left handed bat on the FA market not named Ohtani

MrMidnight

Yankees have nothing to trade for whom you would want. We've been through this already with Soto in the past. Gleyber + prospects not gonna cut it.

Plus those comments from Cash should tell you everything already. To him they're already pretty loving good! Run the same team back. Bunt more. 100% injury free next season.

What do the Astros have anything to do what the topic at hand?

I will say that if the Padres are dogshit at the July trade deadline and the Yanks are buyers, then Soto being an Yankee is a drat certainity.

Most likely: Dodgers, Mariners
Most unlikely: Angels (sorry Angel fan goons), bad teams (Pirates lol)
Most hated: Astros, Yankees
Most "meh": Everyone else

I know it doesnt mean much but as a casual baseball fan all this Dodgers stuff just checks me out for at least this season. Having at least some sort of parity, or at least the false illusion of competition, makes pro sports much more enjoyable to me and I have no interest in watching one team flaunt their endless pocketbook to buy all the best talent.

e: and this is totally unrelated to the Blue Jays being so unbelievably poorly managed and coached I promise...

You're wrong to feel this way and let me tell you why
