Video Transcript<\/p>\n

What did the Houston Astros do at the deadline last year?<\/p>\n

Traded for Carlos Correa.<\/p>\n

Oh.<\/p>\n

What did they do at the- They, they bought Carlos Correa deadline?<\/p>\n

They didn’t really- They bought him trade for him.<\/p>\n

Yeah.<\/p>\n

They said, “We’ll take that back.”<\/p>\n

Couple years ago, what did they do at the deadline?<\/p>\n

They reacquired Justin Verlander.<\/p>\n

And I will say that at the deadline this year, the Houston Astros will trade for George Springer.<\/p>\n

Former Houston Astro and impending free agent George Springer.<\/p>\n

Within my bold prediction n- timeline, the Blue Jays are not very good, clearly.<\/p>\n

And Springer’s $24 million contract, yes.<\/p>\n

but the Blue Jays will need some of that money just to get a prospect back.<\/p>\n

What prospect will they get back considering the Astros might have the worst farm system in the sport?<\/p>\n

Don’t care.<\/p>\n

Talk about that another time.<\/p>\n

Is there a spot for him?<\/p>\n

Not at DH, but in the outfield- Oh, yeah in left- Oh, yeah, in the outfield in left field- Oh, absolutely there’s a spot for him.<\/p>\n

Oh, glorious, yeah.<\/p>\n

So I’m gonna say the Astros acquire George Springer at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

I think this is your best work.<\/p>\n

Particularly- Thank you with the synergy of the Blue Jays prediction is beautiful stuff.<\/p>\n

Yep.<\/p>\n

So- Thank you and these teams, these teams have made trades not that long ago, right?<\/p>\n

I mean, they already They just did the Jesus Sanchez one.<\/p>\n

So when that one’s not good enough, George Springer back to Houston.<\/p>\n

Excellent.<\/p>\n

Bold.<\/p>\n

It’s- Thank you I mean, it’s still bordering on, on, on courageous because of how much has to happen for this to take place, but because of what you laid out there I’ll, I’ll, I’ll give you regular bold and, and just well done.<\/p>\n

Well done.<\/p>\n
