Regarding the discussion earlier today about CBT:
According to Chandler Rome,
There are no deferrals, and Hader received a full-no trade clause. The contract has no opt outs or club options, either.

Hader rejected a QO from the Padres so add a draft pick to the price tag.

"Josh Hader turned down a qualifying offer from the Padres in November.
With him signing with the Astros, this means Houston will lose their 2nd highest pick in 2024 as well as $500K from the international bonus pool in 2025."
I’m totally ok with this.
eta, fyi: tax hit on Crane is 3.5M
Good catch.
Now I’ll have a new Astro connection to use for Milwaukee and San Diego save categories for Immaculate Grid (well, at least I will in April).

Who gets the DFA short straw?
Graveman surgery a blessing in disguise?
What I wonder now, is if Hader signed with the promise that he would be the closer right away or he will be a setup man this season. If he’s the closer, which he probably should be as much as I love Pressly, I wonder if that causes some problems. I would hope that Pressly would accept it graciously and be apart of one of the best bullpens, on paper, ever.
