Although my team has gained two spots in the standings the past week, I'm still not totally confident I'm going to contend this year. Trading Davis leaves me a huge hole in the Saves category, so hopefully if I jump back into contention, I can make up the saves elsewhere. As we all know, Keuchel has not been the same this year so I have been sending out feelers for him. Robby agrees that Keuchel will bounce back to nearly the form he was last season or in 2014. Any deal where I'm trading a Cy Young (however bad he's been for the first quarter of the year) and a dominant closer, I was looking to get youth back. I love Alex Reyes and Hunter Harvey. Coupling them up with Espinoza, Bickford, Fulmer, Taillon, etc. Carlos Martinez is another young player I'm excited about. He's struggling this year, but I anticipate a bounceback. Leake, Colon and Werth were added to the deal to balance salaries. I send Espinoza and Beckham back to fill in offensive slots. Good talks with Robby and think the deal worked out for both of us.

Agreed, I loved Keuchel last year and am still a big fan of his. Think its a slight mechanical issue that he'll figure out at some point soon. Wade Davis is just too hard to turn down and will help me big time in saves as well as ERA and WHIP. I also believe that Keuchel's struggles come hand in hand with the Astros' struggles and they'll both be okay. Although Trea Turner should be up rather soon, I will be looking to make some trades and get my offense stronger, because Beckham and Espinosa aren't the type of guys I'd like to have. Fun talks with Tripp and look forward to making some more deals within the next few weeks.

Commish approved, although it looks like Espinosa's salary is $0.6M this season. That's what I have on Fantrax. Correct?
