It's a steep price, but they kept their top two prospects and they're getting one of the best pitchers in baseball. If they even only get one more title out of this, no one will care who they gave up in 10 years. If it helps them get multiple titles, this will go down as one of the biggest deadline deals in Astros history right next to the Verlander trade.
This is the proper “fireworks” that the rockets promised before the free agency started ... great job by the Stros.
Exactly how I feel about this. Martin is injured and Bukauskas seems mediocre but what do I know. Luhnow must really be high on Tucker and Whitley. Hopefully they are as loyal to the astros as astros are to them.
Lol Dodgers and Yankees fans are god damn pissed. It's like KD coming to GS and the rest of the league giving up on life(except Morey).
We're better than 2017. I can easily see a Red Sox romp through the playoffs like last year. Our offense now (healthy) is arguably the best in baseball, there is no doubt we have the best rotation in all of baseball. We are going to steamroll teams. Hot take: Astros win 110 games (41-13 to end the season).
Top of the line owner has a top of the line GM, crazy the good things that can happen under these circumstances.
