The Astros are poor and can’t afford to keep 25 y/o Carlos Correa

McKinsey mindset at work ! You love to see it. 

[Bronson]

Good. Fuck those guys.

It's either him or Springer for them.

[UndertheHalo]

Well also, this is dog shit for baseball 

[John Taylor]

You'd think they would have some extra cash on hand seeing as they are experts at the art of stealing shit...

Sign the trash can; much cheaper and less injury prone than Correa. 

[failos]

Tough shit. This will be more satisfying than watching the Warriors fail

Misleading thread title ... lol

In theory, the Astros are currently $14 million over the CBT threshold.  Correa is an Arbitration 2 at $8 million, with his Arb 3 open for 2021.  He only played in 75 games last season, 110, 109, 153, and 99 before that.  So is durability an issue?  He does put up great numbers when healthy.  The Astros were 3rd in the AL with 920 RS, so really his offense isn't a priority.  So I could see them trading him.

If you get traded from the ASStros do you have to bring your own trash can or do they provide one?

A waste management company sponsorship should solve their problem.

God think of the marketing opportunities!

I don't want to trade Simmons but if they can get back a SS like Correa, I would do it.

This is a big market team man.  You’d want to see them be able to make something happen for a player like this.  I’m happy to see them eat shit but it’s not a great look.

They’ve chosen Verlander, Greinke, Altuve, Bregman and Brantley.

No thanks to Correa. He might be a great talent but those cheating games needs to stay away from the Angels and Trout. Don't want to see Trout cheating.
