This is the way.

I'm okay with this deal, assuming the Mets ate a bunch of salary.

And we might not be done here?

Prediction:

  • Astros game ends tonight at 9:38PM CDT as a win. Tied with Rangers for first place for the next 14 minutes.
  • Rangers game ends tonight at 9:52PM CDT as a loss. Astros a half game ahead the Rangers.
  • JV starts Thursday at NYY. 
  • Astros never lose sole possession of the AL West again this season en route to WS championship #3!!!

JV makes us better this year and next. But the Mets better be eating a ton of that contract, and we better be prepared to then use that money to sign Tucker. Otherwise, what an massively inefficient move this will have been.

So, assuming the prospects are Gilbert and Clifford and the Mets are eating a ton of JV’s salary, does this confirm that Crane has a little bit of a cheap streak?

If the Astros were willing to pay more in salary, the prospect cost should have decreased. 
 

Clifford/Gilbert feels steep.

Well that's why you deal Meyers, so he doesn't have an alternative.

Dusty is still mad about that Myles Straw trade especially after getting to watch him play last night with his 0 homers and 20 rbi.

As a fan, I don’t really care about who’s paying JV. I’m hoping this works out and fan bases always over-value their team’s prospects. 
 

Hopefully the Astros show Tucker the money in the offseason.
