[aarne13]

Trade imminent according to @jonmorosi
I didn’t expect it, figured the Yankees were still working on it.

From Jeff Passan of Yahoo:

While a number of parties figure the Gerrit Cole-to-Astros deal will get done, multiple sources are cautioning that it's not there yet. Cole has not been informed of a trade to Houston. Generally, this sort of thing winds up with a deal being consummated. Just not at this point.

This has been one stupidly weird offseason.

We may have to wait a while before finding out the rest of this trade's particulars.

Yeah sounds like it will be a while. You have to think Tucker or Whitley is a goner.

 

[jbone17]

For what it's worth, Morosi is reporting Martes and Fisher are involved once it's official. No mention of Whitley or Tucker as of yet.

EDIT: Fake Rosenthal account reported this haha

 

[jbone17]

Rosenthal says otherwise: Fisher, Moran and Paulino are involved.

EDIT: Fake.

Derp

This offseason sucks! (Other than Ohtani and Stanton)
The Jays have signed 1- FA this offseason :/

Jeff Luhnow is a stud.

Trade is back on, and reportedly confirmed -- for Musgrove and Moran.

FIRE NEAL HUNTINGTON. IMMEDIATELY.

Great day to be an Astros fan. They fleeced the Bucs.

 

[hive17]

I think I’m actually included in this trade going to Pittsburgh. That about sums up the value here...

 

[Jaypers]

It's being reported the Pirates wanted Andujar, but the Yanks said no. They got Moran instead.

Jon Heyman @JonHeyman
Pirates wanted at least 1 of andujar or frazier from yankees, the sides had trouble agreeing on others in package and word is never got close to a deal.
