The Starting Nine Predicts the 2024 Astros Season, Part IV

Photo by Scott Audette/MLB Photos via This is the final part of the four-part series where the Crawfish Boxes staff makes predictions for the 2024 season. Since 2019, we have run this series every year, and every contributor has predicted a first-place AL West. We have a perfect record so far, and hopefully, the good luck charm will hold at least one more time. Here goes: Theo Nothing lasts forever, and between a 2023 regular season that often felt stuck in neutral and the frustrating end to the playoffs, it’s not hard to see why some people might be pessimistic...

Presenting the 2024 Yankees Roster Season Preview

Presenting the 2024 Yankees Roster Season Preview

Dan Brink Will this be the year for Aaron Judge and company? Maybe it was the unusual postseason that did not feature the Yankees at all. Maybe it’s the sheer excitement of Juan Soto being a Yankee. Maybe it’s just the pure, baseball-loving genes that reemerge near the outset of every spring training, no matter how irritating the previous year ended. But boy, am I ready for Yankees baseball. So with that, we are starting our 2024 season preview series even earlier than normal. We’re just ready to write about the guys who will almost definitely be on the Opening...

Rangers trade Kent to Guardians

Rangers trade Kent to Guardians

Photo by David Durochik/Diamond Images via Zak Kent has been traded to Cleveland The Texas Rangers have traded pitcher Zak Kent to the Cleveland Guardians for international bonus pool money, the team announced today. Kent was on the 40 man roster, and his departure means there are now 38 players on the 40 man roster. (Well, the Texas Rangers’ PR account says there are 39 players on the 40 man roster, but Chris Young said yesterday Jose Barrero had cleared waivers and been outrighted, so him and Kent being off leaves us at 38.) The expectation had been that Max...

Yankees History: An unfortunate Opening Day game from 1964

Yankees History: An unfortunate Opening Day game from 1964

Photo by Adam Hunger/ Your ace going 11 innings and still taking a loss is a brutal one. Opening Day games are not worth more or less than other regular season ones in the standings. Yet, they often feel way more important than, say, a random June 8th game. For one, this is the first impression we get of a team after months of no baseball. While the Yankees this year are an exception to the rule, we’ll usually see a team’s best pitcher take the mound, and their best lineup back him up. Everyone starts with a 0-0 record. It’s exciting. The flip side of that is that...

Off season review: did the team plug their holes?

Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports Going into the 2024 offseason Astros were a team without many glaring holes; however, they still had to make some moves to set the team up for success in 2024 and beyond. In my view, the Astros had three main priorities this off season. Firstly, they needed to extend some combination of Tucker, Bregman, and Altuve. Or at the very least, not make any moves that would inhibit them from making competitive extension offers. Secondly, with the imminent departures of Neris, Stanek, and Maton, the Astros needed to acquire some quality bullpen...
