    Unreal and pumped.
    Sad to see Martin go. I collect cards and never had a player collection for baseball. I started to collect Martin. Do I stop and keep if as a Astros collection or keep collecting him??

    Wow. I know this move was primarily about this year, but what does this mean for our chances at Cole?

    I'm thrilled that we have Luhnow as our GM! He's the MAN!

    Gave up a lot. Sucks losing Rojas & Beer in the same deal. Also disappointing to lose Martin. Figured Bauskas was likely gone in some deal.

    Only $24M?! Very good deal for Arizona in terms of value.

    Hard to say it’s not a good deal for Houston too. They added a ToR SP without giving up Whitley or Tucker (or really any surefire Top 100 guys). Massive kudos to Crane for approving the deal; have to assume payroll is tapped out until 2022.

    Would not surprise me at all if Rojas ended up being the most valuable of all those prospects.

    Arizona paying 24 million makes it much easier to sign Cole and/or Springer to long term deals.

    Not that i want to be petty but there were a few throwing shade throughout this process about how Houston doesn't need to make moves and other etc... well these moves prove that Luhnow and company felt otherwise.
