The Astros blew up the Trade Deadline after the 3pm Deadline acquiring Cal Stevenson, Joe Biagini, Aaron Sanchez, and - holy crap - Zack Greinke. And that's after re-acquiring Martin Maldonado earlier in the day.
The Return
Martin Maldonado.
You know Machete.
Joe Biagini
Astros getting a guy with 88th percentile curveball spin, and elite vertical movement, but who only throws the pitch 7% of the time ... https://t.co/Arwwf5JsWY — Andrew Simon (@AndrewSimonMLB) July 31, 2019
Looks like a Strom Special.
Biagini - a 29-year old reliever - won't be a free agent until 2023.
