Alejandro Escovedo and/or Shinyribs?

I'm gonna take ^^^^^^with a grain of salt

Sounds like bullshit rumor to me. He was offered $160 million from the Astros and Jim Crane and something like $285 million from Minnesota. These teams have all his medical information and Susan Slusser reported that the Giants said the medical issue they flagged was not related to his back.

Why wouldn't you be? Correa could've just signed with the Mets originally instead of going through the drama of a late night negotiation with Steve Cohen, who was obviously willing to pay him the money he sought in the first place. This was 100% on the SF Giants. They saw something that gave them pause in the physical and decided to either walk away entirely or get him to renegotiate terms of the deal and CC said "nah fuck all that."
-
They can't blame Correa really when their front office made the offer and then reneged on it because they didn't like the results of the physical.

Just bonkers news to wake up to this morning. I don't think we've ever seen anything like this one.

Another name to keep on eye on for the OF mix is lefty hitter Justin Dirden. Dirden slashed .324/.411/.616 with 32 doubles and 20 home runs in 92 games with CC last year before getting promoted to AAA in August. Not surpisingly he struggled a bit with AAA pitching and slashed .242/.305/.398 with a higher K rate with 4 homers and 8 doubles in 32 games, but at 25 he is one of those players who could make an impression in spring training the way Hensley did last year.

There's Bing's White Christmas, Nat King Cole's A Christmas Song, and Vince Guaraldi's Linus and Lucy and Christmas Time is Here. Then there's everything else. Damn shame that Vince Guaraldi didn't live long enough to see his music become probably the most iconic Christmas music of my lifetime. That album is just a perfectly beautiful jazz/holiday record.

I still haven't gotten around to repairing my 25-yr-old Seagull S6 and miss not having an acoustic to strum on the back porch or the office couch...I've had my eye on a PRS Angelus acoustic for awhile now but not sure if I should just spend less money and use the savings on a new pedal or some other gear seeing as how I have nothing but my two poor man electric guitars, a Marshall MG 30FX combo amp, and a Komet Mirasol pedal. Any recs for reputable acoustics under, say, $300 that will stay in tune and sounds good?

I have a Squier classic vibe butterscotch blonde telecaster and love it. Good bang for the buck. Much heavier and beefier than my intro Epiphone Les Paul Special II but be aware that the output jacks on those Squiers fucking suckkkkkkk and will probably come loose after a couple of weeks. If you do get one, upgrade the jack with one of these jack socket cup plates.... https://www.amazon.com/Electrosocket-Jack-Plate-Telecasters-Switchcraft/dp/B01EB5SYDY/ref=asc_df_B01EB5SYDY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312154928868&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1999755730149713722&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028268&hvtargid=pla-569577277120&psc=1

2022 sucked in a lot of ways for me personally, but the Astros 2022 season was unforgettably awesome and I look forward to adding more of these in the future.
-
It's December 2022 and I'm still coming down from the WS high with all y'all fuckstick chicken littles still bitching about not having a Realmuto behind the plate and a Springer in CF. His name is Martin Maldonado and you best put some respect behind it. Goddamn. We got Abreu already, we don't need to do shit and certainly don't need to make any trades unless they are obvious wins for us.

He also represented the young adult son of that Austin jeweler who was shot and killed in a murder-for-hire plot a few years ago involving the son, his gf, and their associates where the son hatched a plan to kill both his parents and inherit their estate but mom survived the shooting. -
Then don't call the cops you dumbass

Helluva place to shit out a hangover

Fuck Chappelle too. Dave Chappelle can't get out of the way of his own massive ego for a singular moment of self-awareness and introspection but instead chooses to pal around with a racist garbage human megalomaniac billionaire who desperately wants to be the one thing Dave already was, the one thing money can never buy: funny and well-liked. These guys and their huge butthurt egos all because they get called out for being behind-the-times transphobes screaming at the clouds..... Being a decent, kind person isn't that hard.
-
would be hilarious if NYY fans get all lathered up about Correa in pinstripes only to see him sign with a team like the Marlins.
-
-
Boegarts to SD for 280mm over 11 years! Correa to the Dodgers is the only likely outcome now.
-
I was talking about RoY and not CYA
-
Anyone else high as fuck on Stros dope and looking to make a future wager on Drew Gilbert for 2023 ROY?
-
Agreed. IMO they are not looking to spend big FA money on an OF/DH type with this free agency class and will look to either guys like Yanier Diaz, Pedro Leon, or maybe even 2022 breakout Justin Dirden to fill that spot. Save that money and use it to sign Chris Bassitt.
-
Pg 42 of last year's offseason thread is a fun read Damn this organization board fucks.
-
I am perfectly happy not paying Contreras a fat contract as imo he is vastly overrated. Bring back Vazquez and roll with him and Machete again at C. I'm actually cool with this team as currently constructed. Run this bitch back.
