hardy harCan’t believe the 2 scheduled starting pitchers in Houston tonight were traded for each other.

Jake Bloss for Paul Skenes. Wild.

Trading Bloss for Flaherty wouldn't make sense. He's a rental and it doesn't solve your problem been since it's a starter for a starter. If he's traded it has to be a different player with control or I will be pissed.

We are also assuming it's only Flaherty. If it is with Detroit, we could be getting multiple players from them.Farmer1906 said:MaxPower said:

It does and it doesn't. If Flaherty pitches like he has been then he's a postseason starter. Plus he's going to give you a great shot at winning every 5th day. I like a Bloss a lot, but he's going to have his ups and downs as a rookie and not likely on the postseason roster.
Me too. Who knows, he could turn into Brandon Backe 2.0. BP in the regular season, Sandy Koufax in the postseason.Ag_07 said:
I don't think Bloss is ready for that.
I'd be shltting my pants if Bloss saw any PT in the playoffs.

Not the pitcher I wanted...seems like an overpay for him.
no, he's a rentalBulldog73 said:
Interesting. Two more years of control.
All the tweets say "include" Jake Bloss. Probably more. I think we got fleeced.linkdude said:
Will it be a 1-for-1?
Seems like a lot to give up 1-1 if he is a rental. Hopefully there is more to the trade than just those two.linkdude said:

As I mentioned on #TheATeam, Kikuchi has a 7.75 ERA in his last 8 starts. https://t.co/DCT0PW9ZoM

The Astros are close to acquiring Yusei Kikuchi to reinforce their injury-ravaged starting rotation, sources tell @Ken_Rosenthal and me. Jake Bloss is expected to be part of the return. Still working to get the entire deal - https://t.co/633eH2ecEz
