January 19, 20242 yr Their bullpen is incredible now. This was the move I thought the Cubs should have made.
January 19, 20242 yr That is an insane amount of money for a closer. Houston doesn't even need him, Pressly was fine last year.
January 19, 20242 yr Definitely a different Astros org than we're used to. Pressly was a solid closer for them but now moves into a high leverage role, or occasional closer if tough righties are due up.
January 19, 20242 yr I am surprised at Houston pushing farther into the tax, they have constantly suggested this offseason that they were using that as a major impediment. This has to have been motivated by Graveman being out, that took like 2 days.
January 19, 20242 yr $7 million less than Edwin Diaz in total dollars. He didn't quite get his $100 million due to slightly diminished stuff and two really erratic swings in 2022/23 with Milwaukee and SD but generally very solid numbers overall. Also struggled a bit in tie situations...not all that unusual as everyone who follows baseball knows. That's often the case, especially on the road.

Seems a lot for a reliever, even a good one. Arguably the second best of the last 15-20 years after Rivera. Some will argue Kimbrel or Jansen but their last five years are way too erratic. Edwin Diaz doesn't have the same amount of dominant years piled up.
