Interesting read. Houston looks pretty silly on their quest for quality return for Bud the Stud Norris.

My favorite is the Stanton for Springer/Correa trade. I don't think it's a bad offer, just interesting.

[Nationals GM Mike] Rizzo called [Luhnow] to inquire on Harrell. JL told him we would still need a headliner like Giolito because we still value Harrell highly. Rizzo did not respond immediately.

I guess Rizzo takes after me when I receive an awful fantasy proposal, except he did not run to post in the Shark Pool's worst trade offers thread.

[Orioles GM Dan Duquette] called [Astros GM Jeff Luhnow] and expressed continued interest in Norris. JL said that for us to consider it at this point it would have to revolve around Bundy or Gaussman. DD said no on Gaussman but did not dismiss Bundy out of hand. DD said he ahd to talk to his doctors to really see what was going on.

Ultimately a no on Bundy, but kind of interesting.

Stanton in Houston would have been bonkers.. a possible threat to Bonds!

While vigorously shopping adequate pitcher Bud Norris last summer, the Astros came off a bit like that one guy in your fantasy league, asking after every team's top young players as if there were a real chance that, say, the Boston Red Sox were going to trade Xander Bogaerts for an okayish No. 3 starter.

I have three of these guys in my home league. Five years in they are still offering me ridiculous trades.
