SemperFeist Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The Astros, once again, show that they know how important pitching is. Romo and Dyson are decent moves, but they feel like bare minimum moves when the Twins are not only doing something special on offense this year, but they actually have the ammunition in their farm system to have made something happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I believe I read that if they traded for Greinke, they're payroll would still be below last year's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBrocks Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) For this year, sure. Next two years 32m, plus the prospects you would need to give up. Also, there are deferred payments from 2022 - 2026. Not saying I would have hated the move, just that I understand not making it.

I haven't been a fan of Greinke his entire career...he certainly had a good stretch, but I'm still a little hesitant on him considering how his career started here in KC. I still have this feeling that he's going to melt down at any moment and not show up at the ballpark on a day he's starting.
