wtf are you talking about.  Mets asked for Brown and Gilbert.  Astros offered Gilbert and Clifford.  Mets blinked.

Including Brown was the nonsense part.

Yeah, should have clarified as bonafide starter.

Not only his entire salary, but send us money to trade for another bat. Holy fuck.

It was hard enough when it was Loperfido. Finding out it was Clifford who I had 12 as a trade chip right behind Peña at 11 makes it really sting.

extend tucker and see how much everybody misses minor league outfielders.

do it.

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?

JV apparently will just meet us in NY and join us for the Yankee series. 

He can start any of those games.  Friday would be normal rest for him.

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!!!

With Urquidy coming back who goes to the pen, unless we're going to go with a 6 man rotation?

We need a 6-man rotation. It is the reason our pitching was so dominant in the playoffs.

Fuck it - I'm over the loss of Gilbert and Clifford already. Resign Tucker and Chas and it won't make a shit. 

That comes across better as "Re-sign".

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.

So let's say JV wins another ring and finishes his career with the Astros... does he still wear the Old English D in Cooperstown?

Yes, because the baseball writers are morons.

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.
