    Blue Jays "We'll trade you Vlad but can you hold off on announcing that so we can get one last goodbye with him this game. We'll also try to beat the O's for you"

    Astros "You have 5 innings... make it count"

    WTF. Bloss-Kikucki straight up was bad enough. But including Loperfido in the deal easily makes this the worst trade the Astros have made in AT LEAST 10, 15 years. Toronto got away with highway robbery here.

    Get rid of Dana Brown. He ain't it.

    These are the kind of trades that come back to haunt a franchise.

    I get it. We overpaid. Not disputing that. Just optimistic YK can pitch better with us than he did in Toronto.

    This is why you justify overpaying for free agents in offseason. The extra cost is protection from gutting the system to get a similar or worse player anyway.

    This trade has to be illegal. It's active sabotage

    How about haunting the idiot GM. Blue Jays must be laughing.
