He probably wanted to go somewhere where he could play every day. That would be a team just like the Nats.

I thought this too. Is the budget and willingness to spend different if he signs?

He also still has an option so you could even pick him up and play him in AAA and still add at the MLB level (maybe someone on a one year deal).

Just because I was curious and I looked into it, it looks like there are currently 3 players remaining from that 2017 team: Altuve, Bregman, and McCullers.

Gee you think?

There were rumors he was going to make the team before that injury happened. The injury just opened up the need for him to play LF and adding Yermin to the team.

Would be really tough to say no to an offer from the team that just won the World Series. Now he gets to join them in raising a banner against us on Opening Day.

He wasn't eligible to receive a QO this time since he was already offered one previously.

Maybe it means they would deal Vaughn. I could buy them offering a low ball offer to see if he'd take it.

Yesterday, I saw that Astros and Mariners have interest.

Zunino is a free agent.

It would be not even 3 full weeks at a time of year where there are a decent amount of days off and rain outs.

Yeah they at least have to give him a chance.

This

Jorge Alfaro. You have someone to split time with Grandal and if Grandal is washed, you have someone who can start. Edit: his projected arb number was $3.6M before being non-tendered.

I’d be ok with it.

First base for sure. Not even a debate.

Well, no one says they are good at their jobs lol they're bad at this.

I think it was more they didn't want to even pay the $2M option. Trade him off for something and be on the hook for none of it.

He can't really stay healthy either. He'd fit right in!

Those guys also cost players along with the money though.

Was going to say. The short porch in LF should help him out there. This move makes sense for the Astros.

I'm hoping they're wrong about that number. Woof.

If Cueto gets more, this is fine. I wouldn't want to gamble on his age 37 season.
