It doesn't make sense to me given the crumbs we have for OF prospects they wouldn't have tried to extend Springer by now
If he'd rather bolt and be a Red Sock that's what he's gonna do

I think the mistake is people thinking we NEED Cole. He’d be great to re-sign but at what cost? McCullers and maybe Sánchez are coming back. If Whitley gets his act together then maybe him too. I’d rather fix the bottom of the order than spend too much on a starting pitcher. They’re already spending north of $55 million on just two players. I agree.........Cole would be great to have but I don't think Crane will offer him enough money. We can spend half of what it would cost for Cole to sign a guy like Wheeler and go after a lefty reliever like Will Smith. McCullers should be ready and I still think Sanchez could be important. Throw in Urauidy and maybe Whitley with Verlander and Greinke and we have a good rotation......Try to re-sign Will Harris.....dump Rondon and Devenski. GEORGE SPRINGER MUST BE EXTENDED.......and it should have been done before now. |

Even though folks think Jake will be non-tendered, I think he gets an offer. Straw for the most part hasn't impressed

It’s time to start looking at him as significant to team success as Altuve, especially with the whole outfield set to hit free agency. |

I hope Sanchez is not coming back, well at least not for his projected arbitration cost would be....I would hope the Astros do not tender him, but maybe sign him to a minor league deal. I like the idea of what someone said here about McCullers to the pen, short pitching outings might lessen the change of another injury. |

We don't know if he can fit into our rotation or bullpen until we get a longer look. |

Elite speed, fantastic OBP skills, above-average defense, ability to play multi key defensive positions, barely making league minimum...
Man, what's NOT to like so far?

Curiously thinking would the Pirates be interested in another trade?
Maybe Carlos Correa and ??
For
Jaimison Tallion and Kebryan Hayas?
If your gonna ride with Yuli at 3b then you could have two options once its time to move on Toro and Hayas.
Taillion would be home and can learn feom the older cats and the Strominator.
The Pirates want to get better but it seems like no players really wanna sign there.
Whatcha think?

I would think not, from Rotoworld: Jameson Taillon underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on Tuesday. There was hope that it would be a less invasive procedure, but Taillon needed a full UCL repair and can now probably be ruled out until 2021. It's a crushing blow for the Pirates organization, as Taillon emerged as their apparent ace of the present and future in 2018 before struggling to a 4.10 ERA over just 37 1/3 innings this year |

The main complaint against Jake is weak hitting.......Straw has not shown to be any better and hasn't shown to be the defender Jake has been. He is faster than Jake and that is about all we know......He can't steal first base. |

The league minimum (and years of team controllable) make Straw very easy to like. A team can't afford to pay star salaries to all their players. |

Agreed, but, we still don't know if straw would be a better hitter and we don't know if his defense can be nearly as good as Jake"s. My point is that Straw should not just be handed a roster spot. |

I agree about Straw. I also think the same thing for Marisnick. While he’s a good defender, he’s been a sieve for the offense, draining life from rallies. |

The Astros did have interest in him last offseason. Idk what kind of prospect the astros would have to add to the package with Correa but it wouldn't be a bad avenue to look at. |

All he does is google "top prospects for <team>", rights it down, adds a couple of low-end Astros players to the mix, and posts here. |
