Gordy and Ross discuss the latest on the Houston Astros following the MLB Trade Deadline, and assess the acquisition of starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi along with reliever Caleb Ferguson. It's obvious they paid a high price in giving up prospects Jake Bloss, Joey Loperfido and Will Wagner, but was this the move win NOW?
