The Joe Morgan/Jack Billingham/Ceasar Geronimo/Ed Armbrister trade for Lee May/Tommy Helms/Jimmy Stewart was the worst trade in Astros history.
Maybe not the worst from a value and production standpoint. But the fallout cost iis a GM a coach and shame on the city. Plus Carlos Gomez being crappy ups the ante as well. Lost Hader in his prime also.
I do wish it hadn't cost us Jeff. I'm not 100% certain the scandal never comes out, but I do think it would have looked a lot different if and when it came out because I don't think it would have been a 1 team focus. It would be more like greenies where we just accept every clubhouse had them and nobody really cares It also cost Beltran his job with the Mets, and he hasn't gotten any serious consideration for a managerial job since.
