    Love it

    We still have plenty to use to go after Bell and Vazquez

    McDermott was likely viewed as the better asset.

    5ERA? I know Chandler posted that but he is a 24 year old prospect still in A ball. I call this a steal.

    I have no problem with the trade. We traded Siri and swapped a pitching prospect for another one to get Mancini. Does not prevent us from making more moves...

    James Click out here pulling off rare three-team deals in baseball. Gotta love it.

    Need a reliever, preferably lefty, hope Click gets it done. We still can trade from our pitching surplus.

    A mutual option means both the team and the player have to pick it up. If Mancini declines it then he's a FA.

    We don't need a lefty reliever for Dusty to use poorly

    We need another really good reliever, regardless of RH/LH

    We still have big pitching chips to use if we want to for another solid addition.

    Not a bad trade. Murray/McDermott is a wash. Siri for Mancini is a bad deal in terms of war for war, but not bad in the context of giving up a 4th OF for a proven hitter.

    Siri for Mancini is a huge win for the Astros

    Any metric that says different probably shouldn't be used too much

    I guess Siri could figure it out and be a beast but seems unlikely. Good trade.

    Interesting buy low situation on Mancini. He has power -- his max exit velocities were among the league leaders from 2017-2021.

    SERA??

    McDermott strikes out a ton of guys a year after being drafted in A Advanced. If he ever learns to throw strikes, he will be in the majors within a year. Siri, it is unlikely he ever makes consistent contact, but his defense will likely keep him in majors for a while.
