Pissenning, supporters of domestic violence

Holy crap.

Exactly what Houston needs if they can solve the legal mess and he is allowed to enter the US (which I think is still in question).

The return will be fascinating. Did the Jays simply dump him for almost anything to avoid the headache?

So problem for problem. What did Houston toss in?

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I thought it was gonna be Marcell Osuna but then I remember the Cardinals never sell even when they're mediocre.

 

[Bjorn Le]

Sold him for his lowest possible value. Good job Shapiro.

He's pitching in Buffalo right now.

Mishandled the Donaldson situation and now this one

Shapiro needs to be fired. I'm so pissed that they got rid of Osuna, regardless of his troubles, he's the best young closers in the game.

Astros 10th and 23rd prospects.

He's pitching in Buffalo right now.

Court case is just beginning though.

Exactly!!!

I seen "fans" complaining that if Osuna was back they would boycott the Jays. First of all, innocent until proven guilty. Secondly, without him the Jays are trash.

The writing was on the wall from the get go and we all knew this was going to happen. But it's still not the right move.

Keeps getting weirder

 

[TootooTrain]

I'll take it. Big Giles fan. Sucks to lose Osuna but i guess the page needed to be turned.

 

[tony d]

Not a fan of Osuna given his current issues but think they could have got a little more back for Osuna than this.

 

[PBandJ]

Seems to be a solid trade for the Jays. Got some interesting arms.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Awkward.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Oof. Maybe with supposed mental issues/stuff like that they'll look at Osuna differently?

Still though, Shatkins is such a fitting name for the Jays front office. Got nothing for one of your better players and likely will get nothing for Donaldson now. I get he has the domestic stuff (rightly so) hanging over his head but couldn't you have like, waited?

At least Vladdy Jr/Bo are on the way.

 

[darko]

Awkward.

Not defending what Osuna did but did you see Danry Vasquez video of him beating his gf? That was hard to watch. It made my blood boil. Vasquez is a POS who should be in jail.

 

[Cassano]

lol Giles

Well no, not if it was decided he'd never play for them again. His value would've tanked when he was available and was still being held out.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I'm fine with this, even if it means I'll never be able to wear my Osuna Matata shirt again.

He was tainted goods, Jays weren't going to get a kings ransom with that stigma following him.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Interesting trade. Osuna will definitely help. But I wonder what the locker room will be like. Apparently Luhnow talked to Altuve but not sure if that was before making the trade or right after and had Altuve talk to his teammates.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

I was never a big Osuns fan but this trade is once again underwhelming from Shatkins. I just don’t get these pieces he’s getting back. They seem to be taking the quantity over quality approach. Both the Yankees and Astros have great farms so it’s not like there was a supply issue.
