Can I assume this is an incredible haul? Watch the Astros flip him for a bigger return a la Hoffman trade.

Not sure they'd trade him to teams there contending against

Not to nit pick, but the way you stated that, it almost suggests your apologizing to the Astros (as if they thought they got him and then Osuna was pulled away. a "," would have helped clarify.
The trade to Sox/Yanks was a little tongue in cheek in the same spirit of the Sharks fleecing the Sens for Hoffman and then flipping him to direct competition to the Sens.
So should I be disappointed that they traded this guy? I thought he was super young, although I think he's also run into some issues lately. So much promise heading into Spring Training this year.

decent trade for the jays given the circumstances
Paulino with an 80 game PED suspension & durability issues... according to prospectus.com he's a serious risk/reward pitcher - likely a mid-reliever/3/4 starter at best. 7th best prospect in Astros system
Perez - has some filthy stuff, command is an issue 78BB in 107 IP. If he can find his control, he could be the best piece of the deal.
Giles a late reliever that basically gets tossed in to make room for Osuna on the Astros.

circumstances are crap. Why did they need to trade him? Was he a cancer in the locker room? I get the pending charges...but why would the Astros take him on then. They could have gotten more.
whatever... those two clowns continue to drive this team into the ground. Thanks for the Memories A.A. Signs point to another extended period of mediocrity which means... no playoffs.
Keeping Osuna was clearly the best option, he's still a kid. With effort and will, there would have been ways to rectify the situation and his image and assist undergoing any training/therapy etc necessary.
side note -- can a mod please fix the thread title error?
