Highly unlikely he gets to 3,000 now. He will be 39 the final year of his contract. He is 480 hits shy with a likely large portion of 2027 games canceled.
I agree, plus he had at least 100 hits taken away for covid year BS.
He won't make it. But the Astros are a minimum 3 years away from making another WS run (not counting the incoming lock-out year). Might as well give him the same opportunity that Biggio received. Biggio stats in his 36 yr old season are virtually the same as Altuve's 36 yr old season.
I'm just saying that getting rid of Altuve at this point is a net-negative. You'd either be replacing him with someone of equal performance while still paying Altuve, or you will be paying a premium for better performance while still paying for Altuve -- which means you have less money available to add some net-positive players.
Altuve's payroll is on the books, regardless. Pursue the lower hanging fruit.

Whatever, ryno.
You're up here making arguments to correct a non-Top3 issue with the roster.
Seriously, what to do with Altuve needs to be way down the list of worries.
Bagwell, GM, Manager, Bench Coach, Hitting Coach, Infield Coach, Walker, Outfield, Outfield, Outfield, Pitcher, Pitcher, Pitcher, Pitcher, Pitcher, Relief Pitcher, Relief Pitcher, Relief Pitcher, Relief Pitcher, Imai (notice, I am listing him separate from any type of Pitcher, cuz we all know that MFer don't pitch), Water Boy, Whoever thought it was a good idea to have Geoff Blum throw out the first pitch while facing the White Sox (probably Bagwell), and then, Altuve.
Truly, the only logical solution was to eat shite this season, deal everybody NOT named Altuve at the trade deadline. And regroup for 2028/2029ish.
Let Altuve chase 3,000 unburdened. It worked for Biggio and the payoff was a roster full of guys that won a WS. I'm okay with that tradeoff.
Anything is better than the garbage mediocrity that was on the field the past two season.

Good project boat on gov deals

Trying not to get in trouble with pushing traffic to another website. I have no affiliation with the below link, just sharing a link to a decent looking boat for fellow build enthusiasts.
I'm actively looking for project boats to rebuild/refurbish. I came across this boat built by students at Beaufort County Community College in NC. Boat is pretty bare, but 22.5 feet long it has great lines and has coosa and divinylcell innerds.
If you're looking for a good boat to customize, this might be a great start.
Scroll through the photos, yes, it is only 22.5 feet, but things get surprisingly bigger than they first appear.
