The Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels will take center stage on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. ESPN senior writer, Sunday Night Baseball reporter Buster Olney talked with TCB ahead of the game about the Astros, Justin Verlander, Jose Altuve, and the City of Houston.
TCB: There had been so much talk surrounding the Astros and Tigers about Justin Verlander in June, July and August. What were you hearing and yourself thinking when the deal finally got done?
Buster: It was something the organization really needed. It was said out loud by Dallas Keuchel and Josh Reddick, that the players weren’t happy about (the trade deadline moves).
