Failed to get any offensive help...great. Hope Tucker can get better.
You were bemoaning the last trade. You should be happy we didn't get another round of the Dana Brown experience!
Yes, the last trade blew chunks. Couldn't even get a bench bat and subtracted Joey.

DANA SUCKS

Look on the bright side - after Dana bent over for the Blue Jays he could have easily traded Melton and Matthews for another two month rental.

Tigers must not have been very high on Bloss and/or Loperfido


Or they thought the could get more then at the last second they had to make a deal when they couldn't find something better.
It's like there are more than one side to negotiations with differing motives and evaluations.

So...who is the next GM of the Astros? Because it can't be Dana anymore.

Feels like they just overplayed their hand.

I honestly would have preferred he sat and waited and done zero trades. He might could have gotten flaherty today but instead pulled the trigger like a desperate little beech

fire his ass

At the end of the day about what we all should've expected.

4/5 type starter and BP arm. Bat was always the luxury add.

Carantini is the bench bat dude. He addressed it before the season even started.

Joey and Chas are the same.

Apparently crane is the GM these days, so not sure it matters.

So you have a single guy who can give you a pinch hit at bat. One. Uno. Cabbage, Chas, and A. Diaz meanwhile, they're just warming the bench and getting ready for their strikeout.

Dana traded a left handed outfielder not named Cabbage to get Kikuchi, then fails at landing another offensive player to take his place?
Can't make this stuff up.

I just hope the fact we didn't acquire any offense means they aren't going to announce Tucker is done for the year tomorrow. If they do...get out the f***ing pitchforks.

I think they probably had about that amount of prospects in mind for Flaherty from the outset and decide to try to get maximum value for him, so, if that fell through, they were willing to wait until the last minute.

In a sense, they overplayed their hand, but I suspect they got about they thought the would in the end, which isn't a dumb play by them.

Extremely niche need, probably adequately served by someone like Dubon

it's amazing how teams just line up to trade for the Dodgers' prospects every year

This was an awful deadline. This is the weakest Astros lineup of our eight year run and we needed the most help. All we got was a 4/5 starter and a reliever who couldn't even hack it for one of our playoff competitors.

Pretty much, you have to depend on people coming back from injury to have a shot. And that's also assuming nobody else gets injured in the next two months.

How many teams have multiple good bench PH bats? Hint, it's not many, man.

For real. Although no way right before the trade deadline they would announce something like that soooo I guess we still wait?

You're assuming Leon doesn't wind up being as good as Joey.

If you expected major offensive help from this deadline with the farm system the Astros have, that was never, ever going to happen.

The only expectation I had was a 3/4 starter with some control, so that is disappointing. I didn't want just a 4/5 guy.

The BP inning eater arm we got.

Now the Giants just acquired Canha for a pitching prospect.
Dana couldn't pull that off?

Not every deadline can be the homerun, get Verlander, Johnson, or Greinke kind of year.

But you hope to at least make moderate moves where you can say your team is better after the deadline.

I don't know that I can say that. And that feels deflating while others just got a morale boost in the arm.
