Astros got Gerrit Cole from the Pirates for Joe Musgrove and 3 meh prospects. I know Cole had a down year but that return is still pretty weak if you're going to rebuild like it looks like Pittsburgh will do now.
When he's healthy and keeping the ball in the park, he's been effective. He's always had good stuff, but then he got hurt and started giving up absurd numbers of home runs. I would have been fine with bringing him back to Detroit, but not at the price of his option. So good for him.

Also Adrian Gonzalez is signing with the Mets.
