Deepened the bullpen. Drastic improvement to the rotation. Improved slightly at catcher. Added a reclamation project in Sanchez.
If we did all that without giving up Tucker or Whitley, I'll be pretty damn amazed.

We have no idea about Cole.......If he wants to stay he will. Don't rule it out..........Can we imagine a rotation of Verlander, Cole, Greinke, Miley, and McCullers? it is not impossible.

"Biagini, 29, was Toronto’s Rule 5 Draft selection in 2015 and enjoyed a tremendous rookie campaign in 2016, pitching to a 3.06 ERA with 8.2 K/9, 2.5 BB/9, 0.40 HR/9 and a 52.2 percent ground-ball rate in 67 2/3 innings. However, the Blue Jays’ subsequent attempt to move Biagini into the rotation in 2017 proved an ill-fated mistake, and his 2018 season spent mostly back in the bullpen didn’t yield quality results, either (6.00 ERA in 72 innings).
The 2019 season has seen Biagini bounce back to the tune of a 3.75 ERA over the life of 48 innings. He’s been homer-prone — like most of the league — but is sporting a career-high 9.0 K/9 against an even 3.0 BB/9 with a 45.3 percent ground-ball rate. There’s reason to be optimistic about further improvement, too; Biagini’s 13.7 percent swinging-strike rate is easily a career-best, as is his 36.1 percent opponents’ chase rate on pitches outside the strike zone. The spin rate on his breaking ball is elite as well, ranking 21st of 399 big league pitchers to throw the pitch at least 100 times dating back to 2016. That type of profile has yielded substantial benefits for the Astros in the past, of course, and they’ll look to elevate his profile with their data-heavy approach moving forward."

The league has seen how the Astros are operating. Keep their farm system strong and trade for players that you can plug into your system to get better. Our team has created a monster as everyone is starting to understand that longevity is the ultimate goal. I watched Dave Dombrowski gut the Tigers farm. I like Luhnow's approach much better and have been saying so for a while now. The right-now at all cost guys will disagree but f them.
I bet Luhnow underpaid on piece he acquired.

A JV-ZG tandem could be epic in the postseason. Johnson-Schilling type epic. And then Cole in there too.... Man, expectations are super high now.

It probably looks a lot like the Verlander trade. The D-back will eat some but not a huge chunk. |

Is it OK to gloat about Greinke? "A third of his salary in 2019-21 is deferred and will be paid out in annual payment of $12.5MM from 2022-26, thus reducing at least some of the immediate financial implications for Houston." |

"Greinke is earning $31.5MM in 2019 and is still owed another $10.5MM of that salary between now and season’s end. He’s also under contract in both 2020 and 2021, with a $32MM salary owed to him in each season. A third of his salary in 2019-21 is deferred and will be paid out in annual payment of $12.5MM from 2022-26, thus reducing at least some of the immediate financial implications for Houston."

Our top three are all as good or better than any other team's ace and Miley is the equal of most of their #2. The Yankees have to be crapping all over themselves. LOL |
