Considering he still has 3 yrs of arbitration. - lets say they add up to $40M- another $235 for 7 FA years may be a good enough offer to get him to forsake free agency.
Not that I expect the Astros to make such an offer.
Houston did offer Cole or Correa 10 year deals so I certainly can’t see them offering Tucker one either.
I doubt it either.
But new GM may alter philosophy a bit and with salaries sky rocketing, avoiding big contracts is less and less of an advantage unless the player is more of an injury or regression risk than average.
It could happen.

I doubt it, too. I don’t think this is Crane’s M.O. regardless of who is the G.M.
As discussed over in the bus ride, it looks like the Astros front office might have found that Bryan/Brians are the next resource that is undervalued by other front offices.
