We got Kyle Smith for Maxwell, not Bud...unless you know what we got for Bud and you're not happy with it.

We got their competitive balance lottery pick? That's the second pick. Still don't know how I feel about this trade

My guess is yes, this has to be more about moving his salary than the return, and if i'm right that is pretty sad when you look at how much he makes.
Well, he was in the lineup for the Orioles tonight against us before this deal, so i'd certainly think he moves directly into our OF

Hoes + draft pick + player to be named later = about what I would expect for Bud Norris. I think Bud (like Altuve) is seriously overrated by Astros fans.
