That Astros trade though

Will one of his teammates make those Asian eyes at him when he gives up a homerun?

Is that final exchange?

If so, the Astros are done.

Taking on salary for a rental and giving up 6 years of control... Yikes.

Next year they are pretty close to CBT... something like within $10M. If JV doesn't make the Option... they'll have to replace him, as well.

8:25pm: The Astros are also sending rookie outfielder Joey Loperfido and infield prospect Will Wagner to Toronto, report Ben Nicholson-Smith and Shi Davidi of Sportsnet (on X).

ETA... #9th (Bloss) and #13 (Wagner)

They traded Loperfido? That legitimately surprises me.

Maybe Houston threw in an extra player in exchange for Toronto taking on some salary?

Bases loaded, two outs, three run lead, and Alvarez up? I think I'd just walk him.

What a great day for baseball.

Couldn't have been better for the Rangers.

DisAstros do their thing. Mortgage the next 2 years for a rental who is meh.

Mariners lose.

I wonder if we could have traded Lorenzen to Houston for that haul.

Twinkies lost too. Helps with wildcard chances a little.

Need a summary of our trades, and if they mean anything for this season please
DallasAg 94
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We got a backup C that can DH some for a couple guys that should be Rule V at the end of the season and were not in our Top30... likely aging out of the prospect category.

We gave up a SP (Lorenzen) that was probably going to get moved to the BP for a LH RP that may or may not contribute in '24, but should give us a solid piece in the future.

We added an All-Star 3B (Jung) for Nothing.
We added a SP (Mahle) under team control for next year and a SP-moved-to BP LHP (Bradford) that we control for like 5-6 years. We gave up nothing.

So... 3B Bat, Backup C, SP, RP for almost nothing.

Meanwhile, Houston gave up #5 (Loperfido), #9 (Bloss), and #13 prospects for a rental that is nothing more than an innings eater who may not make their playoff rotation, assuming they still make it. Loperfido and Bloss were both contributors today and both had team control for 5-6 more years. *poof* Gone along with their '25 season.

We've seen some pretty terrible teams in baseball (the 2013 Astros say hello), but this White Sox team is starting to feel like they are inching closer to some of the worst ever.

They pretty much had a win last night to end the streak, but Bobby Witt Jr. had other ideas. Rangers actually could have used a loss by KC to help out in the WC race.
