He is married to Allie Laforce, which will add to the Astros wives nicely.

Nice move if true

ground ball reliever with a different style delivery. Sub 3 career era.. welcome

He’s kind of like Pat but more ground balls and less hounding other major leaguers for autographs

I was thinking something similar 
Not a bad Pat replacement, imo

Hot wives/gfs is the new market inefficiency Luhnow is exploiting

Live look at the Astros war room

JL being interviewed on MLB network. Said help should be coming to the pitching staff in the next 24 hours. Not sure if he is talking about the rumor we are going after Joe Smith's wife or not (with Joe Smith tagging along in that deal).
Also verified they are looking at rotation and BP arms. Mentioned Musgrove can throw in rotation if needed, in BP if needed, or go back down to minors if needed. So looks like they are willing to make room for an arm if it makes sense.

That is actually the anti-Luhnow crowd.

As Astros GM Jeff Luhnow prepares to leave Orlando, he says "we have at least one [deal] that's very close, but nothing to report yet." He's optimistic the move, for a relief pitcher, will be done tomorrow. Astros have been in on most of the FA relievers who have signed.

Luhnow just said on MLB Radio that he was exploring "adding a bat by trade."

I’d say very solid acquisition and an upgrade from Gregerson assuming that’s the role he’ll play
Barring any trades were gonna have some tough decisions to make with all our pitchers. Would suck for Musgrove to have to be sent down. And then the plethora of options in the back end of the rotation (obviously peacock has experience out of the pen)
Of course there will be injuries and I know we lost Fiers, but ideally Martes would take the next step and hopefully be a solid guy in the rotation as well
Seems like it’d make sense to trade McHugh but it is nice to have depth
Are we to think that Feliz lost his chance to be a regular in the pen last year? Hopefully when he needs to be called up he will capitalize on his opportunity. Still think he has the stuff to be a very good 7th/8th inning guy if he can put it all together
Wonder what our plan for Buskauskas are
