Houston - Detroit Trade (For real this time)

[Gregory (Houston)]

Houston Trades:
Dee Gordon, 2B, (10M 2019)
Alex Meyer, RP, PROSPECT

Detroit Trades:
Xander Bogaerts, SS/3B, (10M 2018)
Jose Berrios, SP, PROSPECT


Astros accept.

It's nice to sell-high on Gordon. I'd rather bet on him slowing down through the summer as fatigue hits than the entire Marlins offense heating up to give him some scoring opps.  I was high on Bogaerts for most of the season, and think that he is a great buy-low candidate.  Additionally, I'm getting scared that Meyer will be a reliever due to his frame and reports coming out of Minnesota. I like Berrios a lot better if those rumors come to pass. Otherwise, I make a small downgrade in Twins prospects.

[Wesley (Detroit)]

I accept.

Good dealin with Houston as usual.

[Vik (Seattle)]

Approve. Not a huge Bogaerts fan, and Dee Gordon had a great year last season and has been outstanding this year, no reason to believe he will slow down. I like this a lot for Detroit, but I do like Gregory's thinking on the prospects. Could go either way.

[Jeremy (Minnesota)]

Good trade, think Detroit has slight edge in this deal, approve

[Dylan (Philly)]

Approve.

[Daniel (Denver)]

Approve
