    You are tripping- if the Astros got Gerrit f-ing Cole for Joe Musgrove and Colin Moran, this is outright highway robbery.

    Wow trade for Gerrit Cole without giving up Whitley, Tucker, Fisher, Martes, Bukauskas, etc. That's incredible.

    Hope Moran and Musgrove are great for PIT. Definitely expendable on this Astros team though.

    Astros should be favored to repeat.
