Another last minuet slip. Edwards has to be worthTravis Jankowski IMO. He is on the 60 day. I believe will be coming off.

Wasn’t Jankowski a solid major league player? Why would CJ be worth that?

Is Castellanos better defensively at 3rd? Any chance he plays there with Bryant in right for defensive purposes

 

[Omeletpants]

Castellanos is slashing .273/.328/.462 in 2019. He leads the American League with 37 doubles while adding 11 homers. Castellanos hit 23 home runs in 2018, smacking 26 homers along with 101 RBIs in 2017.

Almora is far more valuable than CJ

CJ now yes. CJ 2016 no.

He is still young.

Greinke to Astros.

Arron Sanchez to Astros

Does Houston have $400million to spend on payroll?

Bellinger, Kershaw and

Does Houston have $400million to spend on payroll?

I don’t think Houston really has anyone with big contracts yet do they? All their guys are young.

Also cardinals wouldn’t want Kershaw because they enjoy beating up on him in the playoffs

Dbacks are eating $24M from Greinke's contract.

How are you holding out for Whit? Deadline is over.

The Cubs adding Kemp didn't stop him. The deadline won't stop him. There will still be posts suggesting it next week.

Altuve is in his 9th year.

Verlander makes a zillion dollars a year, as does Greinke.

So the team payroll is still probably pretty reasonable then since they only have 3 big contracts?

 

[TL1961]

Joe has penciled Kemp and Castellanos into tonight's lineup, and is checking FlightTracker as we speak.

I would to. They need some new life.

Houston had the 5th highest payroll entering 2019, and added Greinke, who makes $35 million per year.

$24 million offsets it somewhat, but he is still owed $53 million through 2021.

 

[TL1961]

I liked CJ Edwards and thought he'd work things out.
