Imai to the Astros. Damn, AA really refuses to address the rotation lmao

 

[UNCBlue012]

But seriously, it's a three-year deal with opt outs after each year. Low-key, that's awful, especially for a dude who has to adjust to MLB.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Yeah, that contract is not that ideal

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Astros did what they had to to land him. It a bad contract for them but he is in the building and they can renegotiate with him if he is lights out. I wouldn’t have been upset if the Braves did that deal.

Damn... we had heard so little I was hopeful

 

[Slippyjms]

Well that should get the pitching market moving again. Maybe Giolito could be an option for us.

 

[bravesnumberone]

That’s good work by Boras.

 

[Super]

Not doing deals where 100% of the risk is on the team don’t make me too sad

 

[thewupk]

The Boras special

 

[CrimeDog247]

Go get Bassitt

 

[JohnAdcox]

So. All the risk is on the team, not the player. And you have to pay the posting fee based on the total value of the contract? Hard pass.

WTF are the Astros doing?
