The Astros and Padres are still talking Ross and Kimbrel trade

Just when I thought it was safe to go to sleep, I see a Tweet from Chris Cotillo that the Houston Astros and San Diego Padres are still talking trade after last nights trade with the Brewers for Carlos Gomez and Mike Fiers. I assumed after the Brewers trade, the Astros would be done with trades for 2015. However, a text from Jeff Luhnow to ESPN’s Jim Bowden said that Luhnow and the Astros were not done. With the Astros receiving an outfield bat in Gomez and a starter in Fiers, the assumption was that the Astros were after a closer.
