    If the Padres are actually out, this helps Houston with the Mets. Mets might piss their fake leverage away altogether. Opens up opportunities for other sellers imo.

    The more I think about it, the more I think it was a smart move by them. Got a quality pitcher and can deal for quality prospects by dealing one or both of Thor/Wheeler.

    I’ll echo others and say I’m glad he didn’t go to a team that we may see in the playoffs.

    Astros currently with the best winning percentage and best run differential in the AL... they're not going to overpay for anything.

    They'll only have that top winning percentage for another hour or so. :)

    As Morosi is reporting, the return of 2 non- top 100 prospects for Stroman does affect the market value for other top deadline pitchers.

    Demand is affected.

    Kemp for Maldonado anyone? Wonder if Cubs has a spot for Kemp. Hate to lose him for nothing.

    The Cubs just acquired Maldonado to be their backup. Doubt they would trade him. Maldanado was very disappointing to me last year, but the Astros management apparently like him.
