The San Diego Padres, who were talking to the Houston Astros about starter Dylan Cease as the deadline expired, were asking for starter Spencer Arrighetti and three prospects in return.
The Astros declined.
Cease remains a Padre.
@AstrosFuture I’m bummed we don’t have a pitcher but this is so true. Have to grow the farm at some point. If they felt ok about any of the pitchers coming back, then probably good we didn’t over pay. I have zero confidence in McCullers though. Need one of the other guys to do better
The Astros are done, source tells @TheAthletic. Their trade deadline haul is Carlos Correa, Ramón Urías and Jesús Sánchez. Talks with Dylan Cease were legitimate and, at times, picking up steam, but ultimately never got over the finish line.
This was a fine deadline but no pitcher seems crazy. Huge huge gamble to take on the Correa contract and ship off gusto just hoping our injured pitchers can step up
"I got full control so we'll see how it goes."

@AstrosJosh Can’t have JJ watt there without them having Johnson, biggio, bagwell. If having a championship isn’t important then no reason watt should be there and not the others I think
The battle for the Silver Boot returns!

@mattlanza This left me with more questions than answers. Be cautious as in you think this will be rally bad? Or be cautious as in “hey this is worth watching in the next few days as it’s all uncertain”
@AstrosJosh Everyone think income tax plays a big part but if it did, no one one would ever sign in any state with income tax (most of them) and they do
I mean…yeah . Too many teams get into the postseason in all sports but for money. I get it but let’s not pretend it’s for competitiveness. Going from 2 to 4 to 12 so quickly was never about that
It doesn’t seem like a bad trade but it also feels a little underwhelming. Idk, maybe I was expecting too much but it feels like we could have gotten a better prospect or another one
