Mike Burrows has absolutely DISGUSTING stuff. He’s young and under team control until 2032. Really like this move for the Astros.

Ben tell JV to stop playing games and make the Astros signing official.

All of his off-speed pitches look unhittable. That changeup is ridiculous. Especially if he's locating his fastball. Like a few people have mentioned. He's got Ace-like stuff if it all comes together in Houston. Even if 2027 is a lockout year. No worries here. He's under control.

Hopefully they can figure out why he has a hard time going past the 5th inning

Yup. But he has the lowest ceiling of Pirates pitchers. That’s how ridiculous their pitchers are. Ashcraft and Barco will likely be even better.

And he would’ve been the Pirates #4 or #5 guy next year.. Pirates made a great trade

He’s great until he lets runners on base and then he is pretty bad. But he usually doesn’t let anyone on base until the 4th inning.

Need Justin to come back home Ben

They over paid a lot he is a good pitcher but the Pirates @Pirates really made out on this trade finally

I mean the Astros will turn him into the next Gerrit Cole by 2027

Ben I love the move, the Astros continue to build great players and have a team build for the playoffs I think the Astros and Dodgers are the best at this, I MISS BASEBALL lets get MLBN to Show the Winter Leagues!

Have the legend JV back in the H for his final season

Under 10 wins in 26….

Gerrit Cole trade repeats itself

tell your brother to join him, then the Astros would have a shot.

Bullish

How long would have Brito and Melton been under control?

His stuff is not that gross

Tell Justin to come on back and mentor the young stud!

Small markets feeding large markets it’s almost like competition is an illusion and it’s all about profit for the @mlb

There's no way we just got Burrows for only Melton and Brito, right? Has to be more involved I fear.

Of course you do

Astros got a good one

Huh. So, why is his savant page mostly blue?

Burrows is a good middle of the rotation pitcher.

yeah his spin rates are absolutely elite especially on that slider if the pitching lab tweaks the command a bit this could be a massive steal for Houston

Genuinely curious why you think this. He’s made 19 big league starts and I’ve watched AT LEAST two of his starts. Weird tweet

@StephTuittRules Astros are getting a good SP with years of control. Not quite G. Cole stuff but can be 2 or 3. pirates need to give Lowe a 3 year contact if he can show he can be healthy.

It’s not bad. But Dana LOVES depleting the already famished Astros farm system while giving it nothing in return, and it’s always for “talent” that the Astros can fix/improve.

So, are the Astros inevitable again?

Hope we can add JV to the rotation

@grok who did Houston give up

Yeah, he's rill good. Sorry to see him go, but we need runs

How does it help DB and joe keep their jobs this year
