I am pleased

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Might be high for a DH, but seems an overall bargain in today's MLB. 

[Wulaw Horn 19147]

I thought it was a law we couldn’t do a contract longer than 5 years?

glad to see that’s not actually a thing. Now get Tucker done (narrators voice- they aren’t getting Tucker done). 

[WBT 20656]

Just keep those knees healthy!

It's only 3 free agent years.  We've done these type of extensions before, as you know.

Lock up Ted next.

[Scraps 13570]

Man i am gonna have a raging boner for a week. Yordan is easily my favorite Astros player behind Altuve and there isn't much of a gap for me there. Dude is such a beast. Glad I will get to see him up close and personal through 2028.

We need to send the dodgers a thank you card 

[Mez2 4025]

Fuck the dodgers

[tx 3 putt 77355]

Extend verlander next 

[tx 3 putt 77355]

Crane, has taken this franchise next level. Two good gm’s, a minor league system pumping out prospects, some damn good scouting. He just needs to be improve $1 hot dog night

what a hell of an owner 

[Scraps 13570]

If all goes well at the end of that contract Yordan should be pushing for 2nd behind bagwell in all time Astros home runs

Will never happen. They can figure out analytics and all kinds of shit, but the logistics of selling hot dogs are above their mental capacities

[HtownHorn 14763]

Crane is printing money, too. He makes nearly $750K a season from every company that is advertising behind home plate, and they only get 1/2 an inning.

[Dutchrudder 11150]

Nice to see Yordan getting locked up for a while!

bring back the stand behind the Crawford boxes. Mustard and relish pump stations by ALL hot dog stands !!!!!

[tx 3 putt 77355]

What kind of offer does framber get or do we let him leave ?

[tx 3 putt 77355]

 

[tx 3 putt 77355]

Judge breaking it off in the Yankees after this season, is now even funnier

from that thread:

[Guadaloopy 11012]

What is it that you are supposed to do if your erection lasts longer than four hours?

[tx 3 putt 77355]

I’m all for moving a bullpen arm, for the right prospect

That fucking Coke Zero radio ad makes me want to jam a barbecue fork in my ears. I don't understand how a team of well-paid pros can make an ad so stupid.

She pauses speaking before he even cracks the bottle cap off!

there should be a delay *after* that happens.

 

and don’t get me started on the fucking blue bell commercial this year. I didn’t think it was possible for anything to be worse than last year’s…. But then again, never underestimate the suck of aggy.

He’s already pushing for 2nd behind bagwell in all time Astro trades

Gruntled, if you will.

[UTexasFight 9525]

I see why they were pushing so hard to lock him up. His advance metrics are quite nice

 

[tx 3 putt 77355]

24 years old !

[tx 3 putt 77355]

A great day for the organization and the fan base !!!

You know I love you dawg but what difference does it make. It’s still a 6 year commitment. 
the real reason we did it that way is total money which is all my argument has ever been. Buying out arb years is cheaper than FA. That’s why they did it. They would do a 20 year contract if the number was right. They just are couching it in years when it’s really about total dollars. 
This contract is fantastic for both parties imo. 
astros get a bargain. Yordan mitigates risk of injury and gets generational money. 
So happpy this got done. 

[elfenix 34331]

Keep edging

[TonyTexas 10524]

I hope there is a requirement that Yordan participate in winter ball, focusing exclusively on playing first base. 

[Mez2 4025]

I just hope he continues to mash the fucking ball

[TonyTexas 10524]

These numbers help illustrate how great a deal this is for the Astros. They might actually be saving money on the 1st 3 years vs what they would have to pay in arbitration. Getting him for 3yr/$78M for his prime FA years seem a bargain.

during, the gentle vibration of the trimmer against the taint enhances the experience

It makes a big difference. Because of our philosophy, if we let a player get to free agency, he's gone unless he will agree to a contract no longer than five years. 

And I'm fine with that.

[TonyTexas 10524]

 

[tx 3 putt 77355]

We have a core in place, with young players still feeding the machine (Pena, Mayer, Jones, Chas, brown, Martinez, Lee, Siri…). And plenty of pieces left to make a move or two. 
 

i have a feeling they’ll revisit Tucker 

 

[tx 3 putt 77355]

We keep extending our window

That always was weird to me.  Because the metrics crowd would have gone apeshit over Morgan's game.  

[Halohal 502]

Yordan goes 4 for 4. 

[Murfdogg21 4423]

If they could get a similar deal done with Tucker, it would be incredible that they keep getting these amazing talents during their peak years at below market rates. Just keep that Caribbean and South American farm system churning!
