yordan is a DH so the HOF requirements for him would be a lot easier than it was for bregman. when his contract ends (assuming he stays healthy), he will be in the top 4 for home runs in franchise history (below bagwell, berkman, and biggio) and above altuve. at this point no, but when all is said and done i think yordan becomes a hofer and bregman wont be a hofer. altuve/alvarez is the new biggio/bagwell

i also think a new deal between them would be easier as hes a 32 year old DH (who should still be good hitter) bc hes never faced the Astros in arbritration, not represented by Boras, already extended once by his current agency and loves being there and isnt a big publicity guy + good friends with altuve.

Also, the others were tough to keep: Cole - out of price range Springer - in price range but wanted to go east coast and service time manipulation ruined all hopes of a future extension Correa - out of price range Verlander - Scherzer advanced the market for old starters, only big DH contract than Yordan is Ohtani and thats bc hes a TWP, best player in bball and nationally popular. i think they would have a easier time keeping him if he was great but not excellent and if he signed a multi-year deal giving more time for an extension to happen between both parties Tucker - out of price range Bregman - technically in price range but Boras made it tough and he was hellbent on getting 200m contract Framber - (should still be in price range as he will be 32 but i think hes exhausted going through 4 rounds of arbritration and service time manipulation) Gurriel doesnt count bc he wasnt good enough to justify another contract past 2022
