2023 Trade Targets

Barlow to the Padres... damn.

 

FWIW, Musgrove wasn't really a prospect - he had been with the Astros for the 2 previous seasons at that point. They were basically trading a future potential good rotation guy for a current ace.

But even knowing what we know now - we didn't win a title with Cole, we unlocked him as an ace, the Yankees got him, Joe Musgrove became a pretty damn good pitcher. If we could go back in time, would anyone NOT make that trade? It gave the Astros a couple of amazing and exciting seasons and got us to Game 7 of a World Series.

 

Was there a bigger hitter moved at this deadline?

 

Jose Urquidy?

 

Don't do this to yourself.

 

Lorenzen to Phillies. Good on them

 

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for another great trade deadline thread. Special shout outs to @Nook @Snake Diggit @J.R.

 

quite possibly hunter brown as well come playoff time.

 

Why damn? It’s way better than going to Texas or any other actual contender.

Some of y’all really complaining about “that’s it” after acquiring Graveman and JV LOL

The best SP that ended up moving and one of the best bullpen arms. Eduardo Rodriguez, Bednar, Hader, Snell, Stroman, etc. all stayed put. The deadline as a whole including bats didn’t have many difference makers being moved.

Edit: The complaining part wasn’t directed to you FYI

 

So in essence. We picked up only 2 players on trades (both of which are former Astros).

 

Yup. A great deadline season.

 

Tomorrow

 

Corey Lee, Drew Gilbert, and Ryan Clifford moved for about 35 (or 50) million dollars in Luxury Tax Savings over the next 2 or 3 years.

 

I stopped that game last year.

 

It's just too EZ

 

jeff Passan still has a job, there are no winners
@Nook

 

I heard the Mets wanted Maldy but Baker threatened to quit and take Julks with him
