Man it took some time to get this trade done but I feel both sides got what they wanted. I really think this improves my chances at the playoffs this year. Nice working with you Astros.

[Braves GM (Jared)]

Dang this is a lot. Um I approve because I really don't know what just happened

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

I think 'stros needs to get more in this deal. Quite a few solid MLB contributors in that list, and there aren't any great prospects or good picks coming back to Houston. White Sox needs to give up a bit more in order to get such a catch from the Astros.

Veto (1-1)

[Jacob (Former Tigers GM)]

Sox rails and its not close. 6 solid contributers at the big league level for 5 middle of the road prospects and late picks. Gonna have to veto this here, rework it. (1-2).

Humbree is a real good prospect, and Moore is going to, in my mind be a terrific outfielder in a year or maybe even later this year he is elibigle at a few positions. The Astros are going to get a bunch of offers for Kepler a guy who needs only AB's in the minors and then people will realize his power and consistency he is also elibigle at first and outfield. Castillo, Rodriguez, Olacio are average guys I guess, the Astros also get three amature draft picks of mine. From his side I only see three guys at the major league level that are big contributors, O'Flatery, Rasmus, and Keppinger. Liriano is an alright pitcher but has put up many loosing seasons Cecil is in the same boat he has a very high ERA. Valencia is more for depth seeing that he doesn't even hit .200

I'll pass on this as well, White Sox aren't giving up enough

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

(1-3). Deal is cancelled. Sorry guys, this one doesn't add up.
