He deserves to get his big pay day, too. If Altuve and Bregman are worth $30 million a year, George is damn sure worth that much or more. Not saying he's not worth it. But he isnt in the budget when it comes down to it Really? Have they told you what the budget is? Not attempting to sign George would not be good PR and the Astros need good PR with their fans after the sign scandal and no games at MMP this season. |

The Astros in no way, shape, or form deserve a discount for the services of George Springer. Clemens and Pettitte did it a long while back, and it was an anomaly. I am just saying, I doubt the Astros will be top bidder....so, if he would stay in Houston, it would be deemed a discount. BTW -Asyros paid him $21M last year. Unless Coronavirus changed everything, I am thinking Springer gets 5 years/180M. Would you be for the Astros signing him to that type of deal? |

We shall see but you gotta remember it would mean no Grienke resign or Correa you can hang that up. And to add no one else to fill out the roster. As for Profar just remember who told you the name. And why..... Its funny how he has played LF pretty well and supposedly the Astros are interested in him to play CF as a replacement for Springer. But hey who knows. The intreast could all be BS. Its really gonna be up to Profar and the Astros to see where or what happens on that end. Bet he would sign for less then a quarter what Springer would sign for?  |

I am not concerned about keeping Greinke. Getting his $37 million a year salary off the books after next year would be more than enough to sign Correa with money left over. I remember Profar from his time with the Rangers as projected starting infielder who could not stay healthy. He did't do much with the A's and I see no reason to want him. Springer's contract could be drawn up so that most of his money started after Greinke, and probably Verlander is gone......around $73 million off the books. |

He won't take it, but I'd be more willing to go that high on some type of games played incentive. More like 5-year $150 million with another $4-5 based on playing in 130+ games a season. |

Where do you think he'll most likely sign, If you were to guess now? Realistically I could see any of the three underperforming NL East teams: Philies, Mets, Nationals. The Phillies and Mets have a ton of open payroll to work with to add a big contract if they wanted to, and the Nats need a bat to replace Rendon and Harper. |

So you're saying, "So far - Profar?" Only name heard connected to or possibly an intreast level by the Astros I wouldn't offer Reddick straight up in a trade if Reddick were still under contract for Jurickson Profar. |

Atleast Profar is hitting in the .270+ range. Thats a big plus. And Reddick is doo doo. He will be a Brave soon. Really hope they don't resign him in a pinch. What a waste of money. Springer with Mets or Red Sox dark horse would be the White Sox |

I guess for that one I look for positional value and the fact that we’ve been hearing about Yordan’s knees forever followed by double knee surgery. His value lies completely in the batter’s box, and we’ve already seen that he can slump. Is he married to lady that can beat him up? LMFAO I hope not. I think his woman is one of those light-skinned Latinas. |

Correa, Tucker, and Yuli were nominated for GGs. I think Correa is the only one with a chance.

Springer with Mets or Red Sox dark horse would be the White Sox Since at least 99% of your predictions never happen, I won't hold my breath until any of them work out. At least Reddick is a good defensive OF....Profar excels at nothing. We won't sign him because that would be a waste of money. I doubt if Reddick is re-signed but I can guarantee you they won't waste money on Profar. If they do, Click should be fired. |

It would have helped if they hadn't kept moving him from left field to right field. He will be a good defender but is not GG caliber yet. Correa is GG caliber and deserves the award, but, probably won't get it because he is an Astro. |

Not for Profar, I wouldn't. Reddick is absolutely worthless. He plays okay defense, but his arm isn’t what it used to be. His power is almost sapped. He’s barely worthy of a bench spot. |

What is pathetic is how some of you keep trashing Marisnick even after he's gone. Marisnick didn't show his ass wearing BLM shirt and helping lead a boycott of a game. He never came out in support of the damn liberals. We made a good trade with the Mets getting Blake Taylor for Jake. I am glad we did. When the ALCS started, Bregman disappeared. |

Jake would have been as good at the plate in the ALCS as the overpaid Bregman. |
