It actually makes more sense than first thought. Fisher will be up for the rest of the season now, Aoki was only a one year contract (if I recall correctly), and now you avoid giving up any prospects that you have hopes for

Surprised to see Aoki go, but I guess it makes some sense.

E: Also, I feel bad when we all laughed at that guy who talked about trading Aoki a few weeks back

Hahahahaha

So much for that whole 'No one from this current 25 man roster is being dealt' theory

I'm OK with Aoki being dealt. He was a waiver claim and wasn't bringing too much to the team.

Does overpaying for an expensive, washed up SP in Liriano mean no more Sipp?

Aoki was a waiver claim from Seattle with another year of control. Depending on who the minor leaguer is, what a great deal. I've been calling for more Fisher and less Aoki for a while now.

That's probably what they're saying about Liriano

I like this move a lot actually. Aoki was expendable, and we get a veteran lefty who can start or relieve. Aoki was brought in to be a contact hitting outfielder, but Springer and Reddick are both hitting over .300 anyway.

I'd take Britton for Martes, Hernandez, and Davis. If I was either team that's a deal I like.

It likely brings the end of Sipp, for that I will rejoice.

Did we overpay? We gave up a 35 year old OF with a sub 700 OPS who was blocking a solid prospect for PT. This frees up a spot on the 40.

Yep.

And fine with Liriano deal because it means Fisher is staying.

Happy for Derek Fisher. This is his chance to take advantage of being up permanently.

Nothing yet. If the Astros can't make any other moves happen today, Sipp will most likely still be on the big league roster

Is Liriano to the bullpen a sure thing?

Sipp for Darvish. Fair trade for both teams.

So what kind of return did they get for LuCroy and Jeffress compared to what they gave up last year?

And how many times is a guy traded back to the team that dealt him a year later?

At least Nori only has to pack a small bag for Chicago, he can pick up the rest of his stuff when the Jays come to Houston for the weekend.

He would start off doing a great job, up his prices for the services mentioned, and then all of a sudden be worse than a trainee at SuperCuts

PTBNL for Lucroy and a 25 year old RHP who's never been above AA.

Right move at the time but nobody saw Lucroy falling off a cliff like that.
