Not overly upset we gave up Loperfido. I like him a lot and am high on him but I thought he would be a part of any major deal … also assumed it would be for a better return like Flaherty, Snell or Skubal
People were saying we lost the trade when it was just Bloss… now we give them our best young outfielder??
Not to mention gave up two of our other top OF prospects??

Vlad has to be a part of this. It just doesn't add up. Will wait and see.
Maybe Toronto is not taking whoever else out of the game until the deal is completed?
Hey, grasping
Even if Loperfido and Wagner not in long term plans, get a better return

Deal done
Bad deal, very bad deal….. should bot have traded Loperfido
Based on all the tweets out there, sounds like it's a done deal. That's the extent of it.BQRyno said:

Dana Brown should be fired.
Yeah this is a weird one. Even my people are absolutely floored.
I think this is a Jim Crane "get something done at all costs" special.

Not saying there's not a done deal, just that there's no way what has come out is all the moving pieces. It doesn't make sense yet.
Is this like definitely confirmed? This might be the most stupid trade ever. Our #1 young player who everyone can see is going to be a star (Joey), one of our best pitching prospects (Bloss) for a rental who has an 8 ERA in his last 5 starts who is like 31 years old. This is insane
Are we done?
It is- at least for this trade.
God I hope so!!Ag_07 said:

Will any of those players see a call up this season?MaxPower said:Whitcomb and Dezenzo are better corner IF prospects than Wagner. Leon, Cole and Melton are similar to Joey. We know Dana loves both Melton and Cole, who are both left handed hitters, so Joey was duplicative. Leon gives you a right-handed version of basically the same thing.redline248 said:
Dana must be really high on Dezenzo if he was willing to part with Wagner?
Deal doesn't seem like a good one, unless the nerds unlock this guy's full potential...
Obviously, time will tell how good it bad this is, but it seems "not good" when factoring in the rental part. Idk

Exactly.
Well we probably don't have enough prospect collateral for another fleecingAg_07 said:

Dana Brown just became the new most hated in the Astros organization. He's there with Dusty, Maldy, and Jose Abreu.
Just pathetic.
Just pathetic.

Yikes.
runners on the corners for Jake
Clutch walk!!
yes, but......MaxPower said:None of the guys we traded are franchise type talents. Kikuchi owns the Orioles and Yanks so he better be starting any playoff games against them. He can also be a lefty bullpen option if it's not a good starting matchup.CoachRTM said:
This is a franchise/dynasty defining moment.
Kikuchi isn't even in the playoff rotation. He's a pure innings eater for the regular season.
It doesn't look like a good trade purely on value but Bloss is the only guy we gave up I have any fear of thinking "Wow I wish we didn't trade that guy"
This is one of the biggest reaches on a rental that I've ever seen. Our farm system is super thin as it is, and we can't afford inefficient use of those resources.

Last Japanese player the Astros had experienced crippling issues with his anus. Not a good sign.

It's obviously terrible long-term but is it even better in the short-term? Kikuchi is an upgrade from Bloss, but we're probably still losing every time he starts. And now our RF is overall worse...
If this is really what Kikuchi is going for, just stand pat.

Big Jon has been legit these last four games.
Savages in the box!

How on earth can anyone have possibly said yes to this?
This sucks the big fat one man
Just wow Dana
Just wow Dana
lol who is in charge? Crane needs to fire himself for signing off on that
I maybe could understand if we had one more year of control. But all that for a rental 4/5 guy???
Skenes at 99 pitches
We were pissed when we thought it was just Bloss for Kikchi. And now we also gave up our #1 young player who looks like he could be a future Kyle Tucker for a literal scrub pitcher. I'm so done
