It's expected the charges will be dropped.
I don't understand why a kid like this has to be run out of town. The bottom line is the Jays are a worse team today with Osuna off the roster. The optics which made this trade happen didn't seem to be a problem for the World Series champs.
Ridiculous
You must hate all trades that are meant to improve the future.
Giles had a better 2017 than Osuna did btw guys, he's no throw in the Jays took to get the deal done. There's tons of question marks on Osuna, and we all forget how bad he was for a 20game stretch last yr. Mental health is huge, and mental strength is even bigger for a closer. I feel like teams (management) would be more interested in his anxiety "issues" he had last yr than his domestic issues this yr. A prospect for the Astros had a video pop up of him beating his GF and Verlander and McCullers tweeted some strong hate towards him about it. Now the Astros are bringing in a guy who is under investigation for the same thing who is young, and has anxiety. Verlander already said "It's a tough situation" and that once Osuna arrives they'll "go from there". The major pitching leader on the team already hates him.
Trades a win if Giles gets to his 2017 self. The prospects they got are prospects, all "ifs" and "buts". We won't fully know what they are until they can sustain time in AA. I honestly see this as a move that's too much of a gamble for the Astros. The dynamic of the locker room could 100% fail because of this trade.
