    Maybe Jordan Romano too? There’s no way they are giving up 3 prospects (one of them Bloss) for just Kikuchi. No way.

    No. A guy that knows things says the other two prospects are going to hurt as well. He called it “worst trade the astros have ever made”. Said it’s 3/1 and done.

    I think he means in real time just inexplicable garbage. Joe Morgan wasn’t Joe Morgan yet when he got dealt. Same with Kenny lofton for example.

    I can’t even focus on the game, eventhough I’m here at MMP. Been refreshing my iPhone last 1.5 hours and about to run out of phone battery. And I need my phone to get in my Tesla. What else could ****ing go wrong tonite as an Astros fan.

    FWIW, Kikuchi is thought to have "some of the best raw stuff of any lefthander in baseball," accoring to the article in MLBtraderumors.com. Can anyone speak to that?

    Maybe Daulton Varsho is coming too? Thatd be a good get. Lefthanded bat who can play all over the OF. He’s not in Toronto’s lineup tonight.

    Astros get:
    SP Yusei Kikuchi
    OF Daulton Varsho
    RP Jordan Romano

    Blue Jays get:
    P Jake Bloss
    OF Chas McCormick
    RP Rafael Montero
    OF Pedro Leon
    P Miguel Ullola

    Now that’s a trade I could live with.

    If Kikuchi can be a solid SP3 then it's a good deal. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to Flaherty or Snell becoming Stros.

    Hopefully Miller, Murphy can fix him, even if they only get to work on him for a couple of months.

    Dana needs to be fired immediately if this is the trade. Fleeced is a freaking understatement.
