Teams will take advantage wherever they can. They've had to sign less promising players in recent years to extensions and now they are dipping down into the minors for potential future stars. Albies and Acuna have been rare exceptions of late. The last crop of stars (Machado, Harper, Betts, Bryant, Arenado) all got close or to free agency because they wouldn't take team-friendly deals so teams looked elsewhere to spend their money. There is a great crop of players under 23 right now, maybe the best ever. Acuna and Albies already signed deals so it will be interesting to see which route other players take.

Any word from Longenhagen on the schedule for upcoming Team Top 30 reports?
Craig Edwards

Give the guy a break. He's doing prospect week on his own, and it is a massive task. They are all on the way.

Should the Astros be stripped of their 2017 World Series title?
Craig Edwards
3:12
No. What's the point? To make fans feel bad. They aren't giving up their rings. It happened. It's more important to try and prevent it in the future.

Wait, did you just suggest that the primary piece in a package for two years of Kris Bryant should be a single A pitcher who's (by the one list I checked) the 24th ranked prospect in a weak Texas system?

He just made the top 100 prospect list, here. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/yerry-rodriguez/sa918130/stats?posit...

Would it be OK for Kershaw to earhole the first *stro hitter he faces?
Craig Edwards
3:13
No. It's dangerous and terrible.

That's going to do it for me. Thanks for all the questions.
