They avoided arbitration this year signing the 1 year contract to avoid going to arbitration. But it didn’t erase his 2025 arbitration year. So he is still under Astros control for 2025 cause he has a year left of arbitration. He’s not a free agent til 2026. So you are getting him for rest of 2024 and 2025. It’s why when I explained to you that you’re getting him for a year and a half. And why the Astros if they do it now are maximizing whatever value they have left out of him because you’re getting him not just for 2024 but for 2025. The Padres traded Juan Soto with one year left on this contract. The Yankees had to give up one of their better pitching prospects to get him (not their best). And then 2 young major league/prospects. And really the Padres had to settle for that because they had financial obligations issues where they had to take out loans to pay their payroll. So they were at a disadvantage when trying to make that trade because teams knew they had to get off Juan Soto, cause they couldn’t afford him. So if you’re trading with the Astros and you’re getting 1.5 years of service from Kyle Tucker, you’re definitely giving up one of your better prospects (Abel, miller or Crawford) and you’re likely gonna have to give up a second because you’re getting another half season from him. Add on the Astros don’t have to trade him at this deadline they could wait til the offseason. Also likely 3-4 teams going after him if made available that could increase the price. I defer to your superior information. I was unaware of any of that. My bad. Thanks.

He’s fine as a 4th outfielder. Really Castro being terrible hurts them if someone like Sosa and Clemens goes down
June 4, 20242 yr Love Zach but he’s had multiple walks in a game in each of his last 5 starts. And in 8 of 13 starts. a walk in 12 of 13 starts. He is great enough where he can avoid the damage but his walk numbers are really high. been 13 walks in his last 31.1 innings. Last two years he’s walked 39 and 34 guys total. He’s already at 26 in beginning of June.

For Arozerena it’s his first time really struggling. I’m betting he goes on a tear the second half of the year. I tend to think better lineup around him and change of atmosphere would turn him around. Also I’m guessing the price would be low since he’s been bad but he has two years of arbitration left. he would be my third choice of the 3. He’d also be behind jazz and bellinger if both became available. Probably shouldn’t say heartbeat but I’d be very interested in acquiring him if his price is low which it would be right now with how bad he’s struggling. tbh i think he makes a lot of sense for Atlanta. Acuna is out for the year. You get two more years of arbitration and the Braves have been known to take chances on guys and resurrect their careers. So I wouldn’t be all that surprise if the Braves can get him for a good price they would make that move. Because he has high upside and controlled for 2 more years
June 4, 20242 yr Continuing to chug along even though the bats have quieted down a bit thanks to great starting pitching. I have no doubt the bats are going to heat up again especially once Turner gets going again. Looking good...

Arozarena actually strikes out more than Castellanos, but also walks more.

Randy is also 3 years younger and less mlb experience (he’s only played 3 full years cause his first two usage he got limited time of 19 and 23 games). he’s also not making $20 mil and likely team friendly arbitration the next two years. He is also stealing more bases and before this drop off this year his obp was higher at .350. I think casty might just be in the decline at 32 going on 33 and you aren’t breaking his bad habits that he’s always had. I think given Randy’s age (29) more chance he comes out of it and you can help with some of the habits he has. Even if Randy on a normal year doesn’t hit better than .250-260 in a year his OBP has been on average around .350 the previous 3 years. Basically Rhys had .246 avg and .350 the last 3 years. I think Rhys has more pop but Randy also didn’t get the luxury of playing in CBP or in the same lineup Rhys had, better fielder than Rhys and steals more bases
