July 31, 20196 yr If they just took on his contract, this would have been the perfect deal. All that said, I could see Astros flipping him in the off-season (and just buying him for the post-season push and than moving him elsewhere).

He should get flipped this offseason to an AL team. Could settle in at 1B. Or flipped next dead line or off-season after another good season. Edited July 31, 20196 yr by soxfan2014
July 31, 20196 yr Looks like Arizona is paying some of the salary so not a salary dump. In that case I get the sox not being a part of it

Their #2 starter is a free agent. They make their playoff run this year with Verlander and Cole, then next year they have Verlander and Greinke at the top of their rotation with McCullers coming back from Tommy John Surgery. They might still need pitching next offseason overall. What this does do is take an option away from the market if an org needed a front line starter but didn't want to pay for Cole.

July 31, 20196 yr Az did good . Got rid of the Greinke contract, got some prospects and replace him with Gallen.
