Astros Dodged a Bullet by Not Spending

The Astros dodged a financial bullet by letting Tucker and Bregman walk—both now cashing in on massive new deals, but their early-season performances are dismal. Tucker’s hitting .236 with just 5 homers, Bregman’s batting .243 with career-worst OPS+ and calling himself “god-awful” with RISP. Meanwhile, the Astros, who paid nothing, are hanging tough thanks to savvy moves like landing All-Star Isaac Paredes. With both stars struggling early, the team may have avoided a costly mistake—especially since neither is living up to the hype. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
