    Which is why I think getting a bat can really go a long way. We have solid starting pitching, but not elite.

    I was thinking this is the most prospect capital traded in a while at the deadline.

    Prices are pretty high this year. Astros should not overpay. They have a good enough team as is to win it all.

    I mean i feel like that is crazy.... I'm still in shock to be honest.

    Now it's going to be really hard to get a deal done without giving up the farm.

    Makes the early trades of Graveman and Garcia looking pretty good.

    Can never have too much hitting/pitching. If we can squeeze out another hitter/pitcher we’ll be better and have some insurance.

    I'm always a fan of striking deal sooner than waiting until the last 48 hours. Cost get out of whack.

    Exactly. Unless it’s Lee or Leon, winning a World Series will make us forget about trading away whatever prospect for a difference maker

    I’m glad we traded for Graveman and Yimi early. Probably would have cost us a lot more today.

    Crazy prices being exchanged. One of the busiest trade deadlines I’ve seen.
