Are bigole cans from the stands in games we aren't playing allowed?

About 2 months ago I got laughed at on here for saying I had more faith in Aggie football this fall than I did the Astros.
I still stand by that

I'm sure this statement will age well.

Fangraphs has us at 221 M before adding " salaries for players not yet eligible for arbitration and other players with non-guaranteed contracts," which is generally around 10 M for us. That puts us at 231 M with about 13 M available (244 CBT). If we want a little breathing room, more like 10 M available.
Possible options to clear more space:We could easily find 6-12 M here. I assume none of the guaranteed players would be real options to move. Either we don't want to or they don't have demand on the market (McCullers, Javier, Walker).
- Dubon (5.8 M) - Keep Urias as main UTL
- Urias (4.4 M) - Keep Dubopn as main UTL
- Garcia (2.2 M) - I assume he will be non-tendered
- McCormick (3.4 M) - I assume he will be non-tendered
I think 10-20 M in available $ for 2026.
Add a cheap trade arm ($10), backup catcher ($7), & 2-3 trash heap arms ($3). Run it back in 2026.

And if it doesn't… you'll be happy?

You assuming Paredes play 2B and Altuve splits DH/LF with Yordan?

Promote Salazar and throw that $7M into another decent starter. I'd try Paredes at 2nd and use Urias and Rogers(is he around next year?) as failsafes at 2b. If Paredes doesn't work out at 1b/2b, he or Correa might be the short straw at next year's deadline.

No, I don't think Paredes is a good fit at 2B. I think he'll either learn LF, play a mix of 1B, 3B, & DH, or both.
This has been great theater. And having a former pitcher and catcher in the broadcast booth has only made it better. https://t.co/rJqscQZvao

I have a private personal bet with myself that we send Walker and some chunk of his salary (maybe with another player or two to help lower that chunk of salary) to another team and Paredes becomes a full time cheaper 1B.
