    Starting to wonder if this isn’t it. There’s no way Brown is trading Bloss AND more prospects for just Kikuchi.

    I wish but he's currently playing. Would have been scratched like Bloss.

    Seeing a bizarro preview of Kikuchi in skenes tonight.

    Skenes throws hard-soft contact.
    Kikuchi throws soft- hard contact.

    Like Vlad, Springer is currently playing. Everyone will hate it but I'll predict Kiner Falefa with Astros thinking he can play LF since he has experience.

    Kikuchi worse the King, I believe so.

    Should've kept Cionel Perez years ago, gave up on him too quickly.

    Ask if “just wait” is referring to “wait and see what Kikuchi does” or “just wait and see 2hat move we make next”?

    How to lose the Division in trading away a Young Power Pitcher for a Journeyman 5.00 era Pitcher.

    Makes zero sense unless Rafael Montero is traded.

    Astros dumping Montero in the deal and then grabbing Snell too.

    Create a monopoly on elite stuff left handed head cases. New market inefficiency!

    What if I told you that it’s 3 astros for him, Bloss and 2 minor leaguers you’ve heard of and not Montero?
