So under the worst case, he "never gets it", and ends up at 85-90 innings, best option would be he opts-out and returns to Japan, I guess.
I wonder if there is anything else attached to that 100 inning requirement. No raise if he doesn't achieve that number, but is the player...
Baseball draft picks are not like NBA or NFL draft picks. Any single pick in the first round is a coin flip on becoming a big leaguer, and a...
The BP was just where it tore. Torn ankle tendons tend to be overuse/RSI type injuries. The fuse was getting low.
Imai was not a "find", his record was known to all of MLB, and he had MLB suitors other than the Astros.
Ryan Pressly would probably happily give up that cushy SCHN gig for a shot...
I wanted him back here if it made sense, but closing out in Detroit makes perfect sense, and good luck to him. The only real negative from...
The "Peña trade discussion" is about whether he would be willing to sign a *reasonable* 5-7 year deal with the Astros, or if he wants excessive...
A fair number, although I'd still go 9 base, an extra 2 across easy bonuses (12 starts or 120 IP or 100 K?) with risers from there.
How much though? A steal at < $9M, borderline $9-14M, any more than that is too much.
HOF? I would say he is 60/40 sometime in first five seasons, and first ballot totally unlikely if he were to retire today, That goes to 80/20 in...
A possible addition to the coaching staff? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/10/tigers-not-bringing-back-anthony-iapoce.html
Beltran will get in next year or the following at the latest. He was only 17 votes off this time.
Yes. What will really be on us before we know it is the first ballot questions, the "will the scandal hurt his short-term chances", the...
262 hits (2650-2388) is not happening next year. That number would match Ichiro's record. 412 hits (2800-2388) is not happening in the next...
156 hits this season, meaning he has to duplicate this season for the next four to get to 3000 (he is at 2388). The stories of the foot injury...
Cole is a prospect. 25 years old, just made it to AAA, and was not expected to be on the big league club. He was hitting the hell out of...
Almost no downside. Neris knows the system and has had success here. If Neris comes in and does well, its a cheap arm. If Neris does not,...
Hopefully returning to this team and coaching staff will help. He has been on the upswing, but stil had a 5+ ERA and was DFA by the Angels...
Possible weather issues. Thursday off would have likely turned it into an Astros travel day, and sliding a game back into it would be...
