    Well of course, Dana doesn’t have every title on his business card like BOB lol. Just makes you wonder what the thought process is.

    I’ve been letting this sink in and while the prospects we gave up piss me off, there’s a logjam unfortunately.

    None of those guys would be on a playoff roster unless there’s a plethora of injuries. Hopefully this means Tucker is back soon and his play gets him a huge contract.

    None of these prospects are as good as they guys that got traded for Randy Johnson.

    Oh God I just realized we traded Loperfido as well.

    Brown needs to be fired.

    This is an embarrassing trade.

    He was so desperate to make a move, he just said eff it, I'm doing this.

    This organization is officially in trouble.

    Jeff Bagwell, Dana Brown happened. Seattle should win this Division from Tomorrow on.

    Better shot of that happening than Kikuchi cracking the 5 man rotation when JV and Garcia return. We just gave them away for nothing.

    Trade 3 of the club’s top prospects for a pitcher with an ERA close to 5? Caserio go save them

    Have they mentioned it on the broadcast yet? I'm trying to hold out hope that there's more to this ridiculous trade

    FWIW from Baseball Trade Values

    Astros got:
    Kikuchi - 4.9

    Jays got:
    Bloss - 9.2
    Loperfido - 6.1
    Wagner - 2.0
    Total - 17.3

    Yep, I'm still hoping Dana trades for another bat. I dont like this trade but cant wait to see the reaction on this MB the reaction to what Dana gives up for Diaz/Mountcastle etc...

    BTW, I'm a Chas fan, but he's getting dealt. IMHO

    Is Kikuchi a Randy Johnson in Dana Brown eyes.

    Jeff Bagwell telling stories of how Freddy Garcia, John Halama, Carlos Guillen for Randy Johnson.

    Nick Caserio literally makes fun of the Astros saying the Fans wish the season is over.


    Now I wish this really backfires on the Astros because James Click literally took the Prospects away.

    We’ll see. He had a 3.68 ERA last season and misses bats. Anything we get from Garcia at this point will be a bonus.

    Agreed. I have to assume Toronto forced Brown into Loperfido with Chas on the table. Makes sense considering controls/age of the two players

    I would've asked to have Richards to be thrown into the deal and I would've thrown in a guy like Tamarez. That would've made me feel better about this deal.
