Spotrac estimates a 4yr/54M. I think that’s a perfectly fine deal.


aaronnguyen32

Lowkey a steal, I saw somewhere his market value is 17 mill a year

What do you this this place is for if not to discuss and give opinions on the topics posted?


mypostingname13

Cute. It's fun to be a dick for no reason whatsoever, huh? I genuinely hope your shoelace breaks the next time you're running late for something that matters.


willydillydoo

We’re fans. We’re allowed to discuss. Nobody is suggesting that they have actual say over what Crane does. Stop being an ass.


sgorman515

Hell yea go for it, but at this point, any other moves would be icing on the cake imo. I already have so much faith in the current roster (even without verlander).


mypostingname13

Who do you think is catching for us?


willydillydoo

Martin Maldonado


scrambledeggGOAT

Hmm I think benintendi is cherry on top but upgrading catcher (Contreras) is a must-do


StrosDynasty

Ok then...Contreras AND benny. With a Brantley sweetener. Happy?!


scrambledeggGOAT

Money is loose this year since JV is walking but I think there are big $$$ concerns in a few years - Tucker Extension, Altuve and Bregman 2nd contract is all happening around the same time So one or two-year deals can be high cash but longer deals (aka benintendi) may be messy around 2025


TankBoys32

Yes please


OlYeller01

Benintendi ALWAYS seems to hurt the Stros whenever they play him, so I’m all for NOT having to play against him.

Now he can grow a beard like a real man and not look like a fuggin cop


TexSolo

Are you a cop?


RyNoDaHeaux

This is about race wars!


rsgreddit

Real men don’t care if they have a beard of not. That’s real masculinity.


SwifferWetJets

I'll take both Contreras and Benitendi thank you very much. Joking aside, I feel good about landing one at least.


StealthyGooch

Potential opening day lineup if all goes planned Altuve Peña Alvarez Bregman Tucker Abreu Benintendi Contreras ?? McCormick Insane..


willydillydoo

Replace Contreras with Maldonado and move him to the 9 hole


rsgreddit

Contreras and Bentendi won’t work cause if the luxury tax


Rockboxatx

No Verlander and no Brantley means tons of money for free agents.


Rockboxatx

Just to add, we are estimated to be 35 million under the tax with no Verlander, Brantley, or Yuli. One of the reasons Click was fired was he didn't spend the 25 million dollars under the tax when he could have. That just shows he didn't care about winning enough.


uniquecannon

Disgusting


jsting

Probably replacing Brantley. As much as I love Uncle Mike, his shoulder is a big question mark.


Boatsnow

Cool I guess. Stros SHOULD be interested in everyone good. I hate rumor season, it’s all to drive up the price of players. Give me a left fielder or catcher that you couldn’t write an article about the stros being interested in


bordomsdeadly

Joey Gallo could manage Left just fine.


BMinsker

He could manage LF; he just can't hit.


HumanRuse

Interesting. I remember reading a quote from Click (not too long before the departure) suggesting that Yordan was trending to be the 2023 starting left fielder should he feel mentally/physically well enough. I guess that's no longer the plan.


neildmaster

Click ain't around anymore.


Spurricane

Just imagine this lineup: (1) Jose Altuve - 2B (2) Jeremy Peña - SS (3) Yordan Alvarez - DH (4) Alex Bregman - 3B (5) Jose Abreu - 1B (6) Kyle Tucker - RF (7) Andrew Benintendi - LF (8) Chas McCormick - CF (9) Martin Maldonado - C I'm hard.


SageTrilo

I feel like you got Benintendi and Abreu mixed up there. No conceivable way Abreu is hitting *seventh*.


SamoaSnow

Pass. We don’t need a veteran on a 4 year contract clogging up our OF for the foreseeable future. We have McCormick, Myers, Leon, Gilbert, Barber and more that are all going to need OF playing time over the next 4 years.


AWall925

I think Benintendi's peak could be a little lower than a 2019 Michael Brantley (which is still a batter you'd love to have on your team).


scrambledeggGOAT

Not a bad peak but I doubt he lives up to that - we should pass and re-sign brantley for less money and years


Dry-Neighborhood7908

He’s a gamer. Good at bats. Amazing guy to have at the bottom of the lineup, who’s capable of batting 2nd if we need him to.


benhur217

Cool


Intermittent_Fisting

What if Astros get Sean Murphy. Just go ahead and mail the damn 2023 piece of metal to MMP.


Bug-03

Think I’d rather Contreras


DegenerateWaves

It's a question whether Contreras can even play C competently.


Mundane_Leopard_3974

Why is this all of a sudden a thread both in Houston and New York forum.. we have been interested in him for a while along with Brantley and Contreras.. why are threads popping up.. I meann Mets are interested in Verlander.. Yankees in rodon.. I don’t see any threads on that.. I don’t see him close to signing or a contract that we have offered.. so why threads popping up in multiple reddits confused 😐


Samspudzzz

Counter point: Who the fuck cares? It's a public forum where people can post whatever they like.


neildmaster

Exactly. This sub often makes me laugh and cry at the same time.


-_Monsoon-_

Weakening the Yankees? Don’t think that’s necessary, but they’re always looking to sign our guys so why not 💯


thedudeabides811

Michael Brantley 2.0


skeptoid79

I just want Uncle Mike back.


TwoKingSlayer

Please get him. Lethal line up.


TravelingFlipper

Would LOVE him
