Much prefer Christian Walker coming to the Astros over Nolan Arenado…. Walker had great numbers in 2024, Arenado did not, Walker appears to stay in his lane and respects his role, Arenado does not, Walker does not appear to have a chip on his shoulder, Arenado appears to…. even though they are the same age within a month of each other, no comparison…. Walker is the clear all around choice!
For all the Astros fans who are disappointed that Bregman won't be back just remember: he was dragging his feet the whole time. Meaning he really didn't want to come back to Houston but he wanted it to look like it was just business but in reality it was personal. The Astros did what they had to do
Tucker and Bregman coming off injuries this may be a blessing.I mean Tucker was out almost half a season and when he came back did nothing + choked in the playoffs.
@John I can see Santander coming or Hernandez.They offered Bregman 156 mil which he refused plus got Tucker off their books thats another 18 mil.Walker just 60 mil so I see them signing 1-2 more guys to compete with the Dodgers.Im thinking outfielder and maybe a reliever.
@john Bregman was getting 20 mil replaced with a 6.2 mil guy.Tucker was gonna get 18 mil in arbitration and they got a 1b to a 20 mil a season.So they still ahead 14 mil from the moves they made.
Bregman wants 200 mil and Tucker gonna want 400 mil so ya better to let them walk.Their both coming off injuries also and Tucker was horrible when he came back.
@@Rylitos Agree with the financials, and long term planning, I just wonder if the Astros lineup is worse off currently than it was last year, and how that affects winning the division. It would be a weird anomaly for Tucker to be that bad again.
Astros fans are pretty dim when it comes to baseball knowledge. This was a great signing. A great defensive first baseman like Yuli was. With more pop than anyone else we had starting 1B last year
Most the ones saying this is bad don't realize Walker hits to the left where it's easy to clear HRs in Daikin park and he his hrs are hit harder than Tucker imo.
Walker’s best years are behind him and the Dbacks got his best years and good draft pick out of his past production. Good business on the Dbacks part to not overpay for an aging player whose best days are behind him.
@ He wasn’t the best hitter in Arizona either but he was very unclutch and was horrific in the Dbacks 2023 World Series run. I would say his glove is definitely ahead of his bat.
Astros don't need starting pitchers.Brown,Arrighetti,blanco,valdez plus mccullers,javier, and whoever else injured coming back next year.They need outfielders and reliable relievers.Their whole bullpen was shaky at best.
Walker will bring Gold Glove defense to first for Houston. We'll see how his bat will be lined up with the others. Good acquisition. Just need to settle the outfield now.
@@danford7918 it’s not that. This deal just doesn’t make any sense at all whatsoever. And Dana Brown has already ruined the franchise ever since he has been hired. And IDC what everyone says.
Welcome to the Astros!
Great deal. Astros make these high upside deals all the time, even if he's a total bust it's only 60 mil.
Only?
@Ash Ok chill Juan Soto.
As bad as Abreu was Christian walker is a great move he can field and hit for power

Bregman looked like he was treating the Astros as his backup plan. Now he has lost his best leverage for the type of contract he really wants.
this deal basically closed the door on a Bregman reunion i don;t see Houston handing out anymore FA contracts
They gotta address the outfield

plenty of good 1B out there for the Yankees
with walker and parades, we will be getting a lot of pulled home runs this season
great signing for us but im real sad that my favorite player Jon Singleton is gonna be on the bench now
Question is, is it a net positive losing both Tucker and Bregman, for Walker, Paredes and co.?
Bregman wants 200 mil and Tucker gonna want 400 mil so ya better to let them walk.Their both coming off injuries also and Tucker was horrible when he came back.

Can’t believe there was hype on Nolan. So glad that didn’t happen.
Same thanks to Nolan he can go play on the Angels good luck with that "championship" team lol...
tigers have been quiet bregman should go to Detroit
Paredes/Walker might hit more homeruns than Bregman/Tucker
Nolan has shitty numbers. I'm glad walker is coming to the Astros. 👍👍
Now sign Teoscar Hernandez or Anthony Santander

Every fan base has a pool of inepts, you just have to ignore them and they'll stay left out
@@Rylitos the new name for Minute Maid is so cringe
@TheCosmicLion not true lol I’m an Astro’s fan and I love the pick up… you haven’t talked to every fan…
We’re so back welcome to Astro world
Alex Bregman #Best3B
Another highly touted aging first baseman coming to Houston, this should work out great
Rl😊
🤘🏾💪🏾❤️

With Houston, Walker doesn't have to be the best hitter. Yordon and Altuve have that covered.
@ He wasn’t the best hitter in Arizona either but he was very unclutch and was horrific in the Dbacks 2023 World Series run. I would say his glove is definitely ahead of his bat.
Looks like no more obnoxious HEB commercials for Bregman.
Thank god.Guess Walker will replace him.
Now Astros need a pitcher. Walker bueler to rotation
We need outfielders that can hit
Astros don't need starting pitchers.Brown,Arrighetti,blanco,valdez plus mccullers,javier, and whoever else injured coming back next year.They need outfielders and reliable relievers.Their whole bullpen was shaky at best.
What a dumb deal it is.
Huh

Can't be as bad as Abreu
You would hate on any deal cause you don't like the stros.lol.

Terrible signing
