    It'll settle my discomfort if Vlad comes, but we will still be in even more dire need of SPs....

    He’s an innings eater for the season. Good deal

    Kikuchi is making 12 mil a year so this should take them to the 2nd luxury tax threshold right? Or at least really close to it. Pretty disappointing if so.

    Bloss is an innings eater too with control for 6 years. Can’t believe they made this move

    Innings eater that’s been awful his entire MLB career. I thought we were trying to win? Rather keep Bloss. This deal makes zero sense, has be be another player involved. Be fine with Springer actually.

    That's an awful move if it is just for Kikuchi, in my opinion.

    This seems like a massive overpay.

    If there aren't more players coming back as part of this deal I'll officially request the Fire Dana thread. This makes ZERO effing sense any way you slice it.

    Don't like this at all. Can't believe we are giving up Bloss for that guy. Very disappointing.

    Was this a Council of Elders move?

    Yeah. Like the most disgusting trade in real time since the caminitti 12 player deal with San Diego.

    The Council of Elders front office model has got to go.

    But what does that have to do with giving ur top pitching prospect for a 2 month rental that has been **** lately? Thank for the info though. Really hope there more to the Bloss trade that help freeing up the money for the second trade.

    According to Chandler Rome, the Astros are sending out three players in the Kikuchi deal. Surely, there is more coming to Houston? Right?
