Will Harris is 35 years old. The Nats gave him a 3 year $24 million contract. The Astros probably won't ever sign a 35 year old reliever to a similar contract. It is a huge risk. It is an especially huge risk from someone like Harris that doesn't profile as a high strikeout guy.

The Astros are over the first luxury tax threshold and have not been able to trade Josh Reddick's $13 million contract. They just don't have much money to spend and be able to stay under the second, more penal, luxury tax barrier. This is what happens when your star young players are deep into arbitration or get extensions.

They sacrificed their payroll flexibility when they traded for Greinke. This is why teams need their young studs to pan out. Basically, Forrest Whitley's drug suspension plus bad 2019 put them in the position where they had to trade for Greinke. He needs to have a big year this year to get them back on track, though they will have a ton of payroll come off the books after this year with Springer, Brantley, Reddick, Gurriel, and Osuna all being free agents after the 2020 season.

Good stuff...I have a $100 bet with you on a contract scenario with Springer? I don’t remember the specific details...can you refresh my memory so I know when to pay (if needed).

Thanks

I think it was whether the Astros would resign Springer, so we won’t know anything until next year.

Poor 2 year old girl hit by a foul ball at minutemaid this past season will be subject to siezures and be on medication probably the rest of her life.
I remember the reaction of the cubs Almora that hit that ball at the time it happened.
This is going to tear him up.
Prayers for her and him.

No big loss. He was just a serviceable catcher...

I don't know much about him. Why do you think the Astros went and got him?
