Smart for everyone involved.

Change of scenery for Giles and buy low by toronto

Houston gets a dominant closer when he’s not pummeling shrews.

Sometimes, you can just tell when a deal is going to work out well.

This is not one of those times.

I was indifferent towards the AL, but now I hope the astros get bounced early. It’d be an added bonus if it were because of Osuna.

Perez is 10th rank prospect in the Astros system and polonemo is 23rd

It's a win for the Astros for just getting rid of Giles. Of all the smart moves they made, I won't say it was dumb because hindsight is 20-20, but imagine how loaded they could be now if they decided to pass on that one.

Who knows, maybe they have Andrew Miller instead of Giles.

That's a good trade for the Jays.

Are you talking about the Giles-Phillies trade? The best player they gave up is Vince Velasquez- who's had a 4.3 WAR with the Phillies in 3 years. Not bad, and he has been good this year with a 4.02 ERA and 3.72 FIP in 107.1 IP for a 2.0 WAR, but I don't think the Astros are hurting for starting pitching right now. Though- if he were with the Astros- they'd probably have converted him to a reliever long ago.

I know it's not a perfect stat, but FWIW, Giles had a 4.1 WAR with the Astros compared to Velasquez's 4.3 with the Phillies.
