    They gave up a lot for a #4 or #5 starter.

    This is re-GD-diculous. Toronto knew Dana was desperate to make a deal for a starter and took him to the cleaners.

    There has to be more coming to the Astros. This is objectively a massive overpay for a rental pitcher. Even if K goes 4-0 the rest of the way, the Astros over paid.

    I’m more shocked at this than the Deandre Hopkins trade

    There’s absolutely no way there’s not more to this deal…….right?…..if not, it must be The Jays picking up his salary

    This just cannot be. Few things still shock me, but this would certainly qualify. There absolutely must be more to this

    Loperfido and Bloss for Kikuchi would be the most lopsided Astros trade I’ve ever seen.

    How is it the Yankees, Mariners, Rangers get huge upgrades for peanuts and we massively overpay for sh*t? This is truly pathetic if true.

    That's the complete deal. We got only Kikuchi, a rental #3 pitcher. You have got to be kidding me. This is an absolutely awful deal. Dana Brown should be fired over this deal.

    This thread is obvious an elaborate troll attempt and you've somehow created very real Twitter accounts to link. Nice try.

    I was cool w Bloss for Kikuchi straight up (I’m admittedly not super high on Bloss), but this is an INSANE overpay
