He’s not coming here if that’s the contract.

I just wonder about a 7th year.  I thought Corbin would get 5 and he got 6.

7 years is a loooooong contract for a pitcher.

 

Yeah, I would not have thought he'd get 7 if you'd have asked me on Aug. 15.

I think he will. It may get ugly but I think Arte signs Cole no matter the cost.

"Bargain signings like Trevor Cahill and Matt Harvey are not going to cut it."

Amen to that... Salary match the highest bidder plus $500,000.

I know that everyone's opinion of the bleacher report leaves a lot to be desired, but you get what you pay for, and their site is free. Who can afford to subscribe to every news and sports outlet on the internet? I know I'm not going too.

 

Interesting that they have Daniel Hudson also going to the Halos, a return after he never got to pitch in a regular season game for them.

I hope Cole signs here but not for that much. I’m hoping that we can get 2-3 new starting pitchers this offseason. Cole would be the most dominant Halo pitcher since Nolan Ryan.

Not my money. I think we get 2 starters regardless of the cost. Cole and Odorizzi is a nice off-season.

Following me on Twitter doesn’t pay my bills. Subscribing to the OC Register does

[Dtwncbad]

For the record, my adjustment to add the 7th year makes my prediction 7/205.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

6/180 signed on 12/29.... Halos.

Very true.

But 7 years without one is almost longer....

The last bonafide ace FA pitcher we signed was Cole-on...i like our mojo on this.

At least they ended up with Israel. At this point Id be at least lukewarm if we signed Ismael Valdez.

The Astros’ ability to stay under the $208MM Competitive Balance Tax threshold could very well be a factor, as Crane said that he would “prefer not to” exceed the number, “but we may win the World Series, so you never know.”  That last comment could be interpreted in a couple of different ways — a long postseason run would add extra revenue to the team’s coffers, and perhaps provide the extra funds necessary to splurge for Cole.  Or, Crane could be making a reference to the Astros’ competitive window, as winning a second championship in three years could spur the franchise to exceed their financial comfort zone in pursuit of becoming a mini-dynasty.

So does that mean we are rooting for Tampa Bay to get "lucky" ?
