lol daz But yeah apparently Verlander vetoed So the Astros had Britton but it was killed at the zero hour, then they had Verlander but he refused to be traded. Fun trade season Intruder fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Sep 1, 2017 |

Rumors are saying that Verlander will only waive no-trade to the Cubs but Cubs feel the asking price is way too high. About 20 minutes to make a deal

JV made the right call. Houston is a garbage city with no zoning laws. Cubs or nothing.

Also two years ago the Astros had a deal in place for Hamels who also wouldn't waive his no trade

On the one hand, this would have been a pure payroll dump and high probability that none of those guys would have panned out. On the other hand, Tigers just can't do anything to improve, wake me when 2022 gets here.

Man remember when Daz was a huge coup for the Astros Now the only thing that makes me say he isn't 100% bust is he's still only 20

bawfuls posted:He'd also go to LA but it is not clear he'd be one of the four best starters on the Dodgers so the urgency to acquire him isn't really there. Right. I didn't include LA because I wasn't aware the Dodgers had any interest. This probably lines up for Verlander to the Cubs in the offseason for much less

After turning the Astros lineup into a steaming pile of turds in the last series between the two teams Verlander was probably like "Nah can't win with them"

bawfuls posted:this is dumb, don't be that guy Chafin wasn't trying to pitch inside and let one get away. It wasn't a breaking pitch that broke too hard. He threw that pitch with malice directly at the best place to hit Bellinger. Looks to me like he even threw a teeny tiny bit behind him, in case he instinctively tried to back away from the plate. That pitch was never going anywhere but into Bellinger's body, and during the followthrough and after, Chafin stared directly at him the whole time, until it became obvious Bellinger wasn't going to do anything except jog to first base.

Return for Phillips and I'm too tired to look up the image but Cash Considerations is a catcher named Tony Sanchez.

Also I really like the Miguel Gonzalez deal for us. It cost us next to nothing (seriously Forbes is a terrible prospect) and he's a pretty clear upgrade over Nick Martinez and AJ Griffin.

Turns out openly referring to players as commodities and bottoming out payroll for 5 years while dumping anyone who makes any money at all doesn't endear yourself to players?  Also the way they played games with Springer and Correa re: service time (again, far more openly than other teams since everyone does it)

Really disappointed the Tigers trade Justin Verlander, one of our greatest ever pitchers, to a toxic libertarian hellscape of a city.
