KnightsOnMintSt Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 According to Jon Morosi on Twitter. Should be interesting to see what they give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Martes, Fischer and a flier is my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt Tucker or Whitley is included in a package Fisher will be in the deal, along with at least one arm I would imagine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 It's the Astros world and we are all just living in it. Meanwhile, the Pirates continue to be one of the worst run franchises in baseball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveno89 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jan 10, 2018 -> 11:16 AM) Better him going to the Astros rather than the Yankees. Astros rotation is stacked: Keuchel, Verlander, Cole, McCullers, Morton plus solid depth behind that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Harold Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Bob Nightengale @BNightengale now Gerrit Cole and his agents still waiting to be told he's been traded from #Pirates to #Astros. No official call yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Good for the astros. I hated how they didn't trade for Sale/Quintana when they needed pitching, but now look at them... trading for Verlander and Cole. Congrats Astros on the moves, I no longer hate you for holding out on your team. What a star team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Harold Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal now Earlier I quoted a source saying Cole to #Astros was close. Clearly that is not the case. Had heard all morning there was significant momentum toward a trade, with specific names under discussion. A deal surely remains possible. But I was mistaken to call it close at that time.

southsider2k5 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Jeff PassanVerified account @JeffPassan Source: "No deal" for Gerrit Cole to Houston. "False rumor." As is the case with these things, talks could pick back up quickly. For now, though, Gerrit Cole to Houston is not happening. 2 replies 5 retweets 17 likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Jim Bowden?? @JimBowdenGM 58m58 minutes ago Astros refused to put Kyle Tucker and Forrest Whitley in the Justin Verlander deal, so it’s unlikely they’d put either in this trade. Most prominent names being bandied about:Derek Fisher, David Paulino, & Colin Moran. I was told no deal is done yet.So close? I’m not going there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Another example of why I’m done with baseball rumors until the team announces it. Morosi never makes me blink twice. Rosenthal/Heyman? Sure. Anyone else, wait for the team to say it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Jim Bowden’s analysis is so terrible. Verlander is older and has a huge contract. Doesn’t mean it’s crazy they wouldn’t include either for Cole, who granted has his own reasons for pause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Thought it sounded weird that neither of Fisher or Tucker were even available as a centerpiece to get four years of Quintana, but that they'd both be available six months later, AFTER the WS victory, just to get only two years of Gerrit Cole.

ChiSox59 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Fischer is a pretty awful defender and would have a been a terrible centerpiece for Sale or Q. Glad we went different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the only guy I'm disappointed we didn't get was Robles but he probably wasn't in the cards for any other deal then Sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
