Brian T. Smith said:
Verlander: "The buzz is still going." First time back since the Series. Verlander said he wants to keep playing in MLB "for a long time."

Verlander on having two rings

Verlander joked "Oh, Breg" when the #Astros' back-to-back tour was mentioned.

Luhnow on the World Series: "I loved every last moment." #Astros

Luhnow pointed to Gattis, Conger trades as start of #Astros' turnaround at MLB level.

Luhnow said #Astros have been as busy as any front office this offseason. Arbitration, evaluating free agents/trades and a lost month due to playoffs.

Luhnow has told staff, "The enemy of success is success." Doesn't want organization settling after WS win. #Astros

Luhnow with an in-depth answer about #Astros' future and trying to keep core intact.

Luhnow: "We're in a good spot because we don't have to do anything." Said #Astros can cherry pick.

Man I don't like giving up Musgrove. Seemed like he was going to be very versatile for us

Yea but look at the starting rotation now. McCullers is your 4. Insane

But it makes our starting 5 look pretty darn good. Surprised we didn't have to give up a prospect

If that's it, I love the deal. I think the ceiling on Musgrove is middle of the rotation, likely back of the rotation. Moran is largely blocked in our infield for the near future.

Yep so you've got to wonder if the big 3 in the infield made it known to management that they'll be sticking around. May mean nothing but if that's the case it would allow Luhnow to play it differently.

Micheal Feliz also in the deal. I wonder who the 4th is. I still like the deal so far.

This is a home fcking run if all we give up is Moran, Musgrove, Feliz, and a lotto ticket.

Actually any trade for Cole that doesn't include Whitely or Tucker is a steal.

And there were people worried that both Whitley and Tucker would be included in this trade

There were also Ranger fans that were glad we were after Cole because it would mean we were depleting our farm system.

So is the front office going to go out and sign Darsh now and have the greatest rotation of all time?

Someone not very busy. Please track the trade we made with the Marlins years ago. Moran was brought here in that deal. As well as Martes and the pick that got us Daz?

Verlander
Keuchel
Cole
McCullers
Morton

Yeah. I will go out in a limb and say that's a pretty good lineup. And the pen gains Peacock.
