If I had to guess, I say it's Bud for Gausman + a low A prospect. But that's just me being optimistic.

Pfft, what does he know? At the very least, this tells me that the Astros are pleased with the feedback they are getting on Bud and don't want him to do anything tonight that could jeopardize that.
Seeing how trades go down it will not shock if is not Pittsburgh who BUD gets traded to. Bud Norris will ge traded inthe evening.

Stark • Astros: The Astros continue to listen on Bud Norris, but other teams report they haven't lowered the price (two elite prospects) one iota and continue to express doubt that Norris will be dealt this week. "They have no reason to move Bud Norris," said one exec. "They have him under control for two more years, and they certainly don't have to do it for payroll reasons." McTaggart A source told MLB.com on Tuesday three teams were hard after Norris, including the Orioles, who are in contention in the American League East, but no deal is imminent.
You'd think anyone that comes close to dealing two top 5 prospects for Norris has to be a budget conscious team. That's one of the most attractive things about him, the contract.

I LOVE the Pittsburgh farm system. Is either Polanco or Glasnow in a package and Luhnow would hit jackpot. Glasnow is now 6-8 kinda of like Randy Johnson type of stature.
