We didn't get caught overpaying for Correa. Guy's agent is Bora$$. I'd pass. Geez the guy is hitting .250 this year. He not worth anywhere near 450 million freaking dollars, or depleting the farm.
Let the yanquis overpay.
I don't believe the Astros would offer more than 25m/5years, anyway., but that is still pretty high, but similar to what they offered Correa.
The thing is, Brantley is done, in my opinion.
Mid 30's and has hurt his shoulder a 3rd time, one that has had surgery twice already.
You never know, though.
Look at Verlander, 39 and coming off of Tommy John surgery.
Tucker, Siri, McCormick, and Meyers are the outfield choices as of now.
Tucker is solid, an all-star.
The others have to prove themselves a bit more at the MLB level.
We'll see, but I wouldn't be shocked if the Astros go after a big bat outfielder for the playoff push.
If Yordan Alvarez comes back healthy, and one of the younger guys steps up, that would be the best scenario.
