1. The window is closer to closing. 2. It's not clear who will replace him at third base. 3. If Altuve is the face of the franchise, then Bregman is the voice.
I was there on Bregmans MLB debut because I had tracked his progress since draft day and hoped he would turn into a great player. He’s turned out to be much more than that, as you noted. His notorious slow starts are bothersome and may not age well, but there’s no denying his offense is tailored for MMP better than other parks and his leadership will be difficult to replace. I hope Crane doesn’t break his 5 year deal rule but they’ve got to come to terms to keep him, somehow
Breggy’s new salsa company logo cap is lit. I saw him wearing it at a post game press conference and had to order one. It’s now my go to ball cap for when I’m in hostile territory.
You're right. Guess it just tirorked me bc it seemed like they were sending a message he wouldn't be re-signed. I didn't look up all the contract expirations. I deleted my comment.
He's our team's salsa salesman. Brian, this is absolutely glorious and this is why I read.
Thanks for reading Craig. I'm glad you like the writing.

Here’s to a rabbit waiting in the astros GMs hat in the off season

1. Tucker isn't a free agent until after the 2025 season. So he may get one next year.
2. McCullers isn't a free agent until after the 2026 season. He signed a contract extension before the 2021 season and thus was never a free agent.
3. On Verlander. Harder to do this with starting pitchers. Though Verlander got a huge hand when pulled from his last home start this season.
