I’m wondering how signing him affects us because we’re the team that offered him the QO?

It goes back to neutral. We don’t lose a pick. We don’t gain a pick. Nothin happens. I guess you could technically say we lose a pick to ourselves. Which means nothing happens.
Some see this as a reason the original team of the player might offer more money, because they won’t lose a pick compared to other prospective teams.
Personally, I don’t want to re-sign him. Tying up $100M in Keuchel doesn’t sound like a good idea. Rather give that money to Cole.

Anyone else upset that the Angels signed Lucroy to a 1yr/$3.35M deal?
While we signed frickin Chirinos to a 1yr/$5.75M deal? You kidding me?
Chirinos is not good. Baseball prospectus has him ranked near the bottom in defensive metrics. His hitting is nothing special. He hit .222 with 18hr last year.
Lucroy ranks on the upper end of defensive metrics (near the top in runners thrown out %) and hit .241 with 4hr last year. Yeah 4 is not much. But coming from Oakland to Houston I would imagine that number at least doubles.
I just can’t believe we’re paying almost double for frickin Chirinos.
