I imagine he may end up in Atlanta if they show interest
He lives in Florida and didn't he say in past he wanted to stay on East Coast
Nah, Morton should come back to Houston. But apparently he still wants to pitch for TB and he could return on a two year deal.
Maybe another hurricane will inspire them and bring them a 2nd title.Nah, the only thing that should come back to Houston after their bullshit trash can banging is Hurricane Harvey
Maybe another hurricane will inspire them and bring them a 2nd title.
Although people living in Houston who aren't Astros fans(or players or staff who had nothing to do with the cheating) shouldn't have to suffer from the disaster.
Amazing that the game's oldest team had never had a Cy winner before.

That's what I get for trying to post a fact off memory instead of looking it up lol.The Reds have traditionally had fairly mediocre pitching. Look at any all-time Reds roster and compare their pitching staff to any other team:
Eppa Rixey
Dolf Luque
Noodles Hahn
Paul Derringer
Tony Mullane
Bucky Walters
Jose Rijo
Jim Maloney
Some combination of those pitchers compared to, say the Braves (Maddux, Spahn, Niekro, Glavine, Nichols, Smoltz), Red Sox (Clemens, Young, Martinez, Tiant, Grove), A's (Grove, Plank, Waddell, Bender, Hudson, Zito, Blue, Hunter), and so on.
That said, the Reds aren't the oldest team in baseball - that'd be the Braves, who are in a way the descendants of the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings (the Wright brothers, Cal McVey, and Charlie Gould were on both the 1869 and 1871 Red Stockings teams), via Boston. Today's Reds formed in 1882, while the Braves were one of the inaugural teams of the 1871 National Association who survived to join the National League in 1876.
