    Based off Yankees fans comments, they seem ecstatic to get rid of him.

    I'm sure... if it wasn't for his egregious contract, Montero would probably look better to most teams on paper than what any Astros fan thinks of him.

    Traded for a minor leaguer and international money. So Jacob Melton and $2M of bonus pool.

    Yep,

    Next off-season when there's a cheap starter on the board in FA hopefully Dana has learned his lesson and will value SP over a backup catcher and I like Caratini.

    Lessons hopefully learned by a young GM.

    Thank you for that note on Melton. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I hated the pick and I've wanted him gone at every step of the way. It's completely bizarre to me. I'm not a hater in general (and I have no ill will toward him obviously) but the dudes what 25? When do they think he's going to develop a hit tool? It's nuts.

    Maybe. I do give Dana credit for finding something in Bennett Sousa, Caleb Ort, and Taylor Scott..

    Ok- I just wrote about how I wanted Melton gone- and I know that's tongue in cheek- but if that happens we literally ought to burn union station to the ground.

    High strikeouts and poor stranded rate.

    This is the classic "maybe he gets hot with his strikeout stuff for like a few months" type of move...... very much a meh move.

    Every single contending team is now fighting over shitty relievers.

    Dana traded for Will Smith 2.0 it’s laughable at this point.

    Dont trust the yankees getting rid of a pitcher to the Astros, of all teams, during a playoff race, at that, if he wasnt just trash.

    Then why is no one fighting over Montero? Lol...maybe Astros don't want to trade him.
