Astros re-acquire Justin Verlander

Would have rather it been Clifford but had to give them something and not Brown and Chas is huge

 

Loperfido might be the 2nd prospect it sounds like

 

Can't be afraid to trade prospects... but, if you wanted Verlander you should have just signed him in the off season. I need to see how much the Mets are paying of his salary, but for Gilbert it needs to be a lot.

 

You guys already knew Gilbert was gonna be one of the players.

 

Brown's first move: Gets a Click guy
Brown's second move: Gets a Lunhow guy

If we're sending out Gilbert the Mets are covering a significant portion of his salary, or at least they should be.

You have to make moves in the now, you can't change choices in the past. Guys got hurt, so now we need pitching.

 

Crane better extend Tuck than...justsayin'

 

No more sniveling about not going after it "while the window is open". We had no idea what injuries we'd have this year so holding onto JV wasn't likely but we're in a very diffrent place now and as much as I liked Gilbert he's stil just a prospect. Again, they're going for it, ballsy and I like it. and we keep Chas.

 

There’s no maybe about it. The Mets are definitely covering his salary and I bet it’s to the tune of 25 or 30M.

 

Yep, just posted the same thing

 

Brutal price to pay

 

I thought Gilbert and Lee could've bagged Cease and Roberts.

 

absolutely not....

 

Chas's emergence had to make Gilbert tradable a viable option to Brown.

WAIT... GILBERT AND CLIFFORD? Okay, they Mets better be paying that whole damn salary.

 

the White Sox would’ve hung up the phone and laughed.

 

Good gawd nooooo

 

For real.

Now that Gilbert is gone, Astros have no choice but to extend tucker or trade him in the future.
