and astroscounty has put together a comprehensive chronology of what went down. A lot of this stuff I have not read.
http://www.astroscounty.com/p/hurricane-harvey-and-astros.htmlAlso here are the principles of the deal and how they have fared since:
Verlander: 37-14, 2.48 ERA / 0.84 WHIP, 576K:76BB, Cy Young Runner-Up in 2018, World Series Champion.
Daz Cameron: .217/.332/.385 at Triple-A in 2019.
Franklin Perez: Injuries have held him to 30.2IP since the trade.
Jake Rogers: .118/.230/.289 in 23 games for Detroit in 2019.
More evidence that you want to be the team trading the prospects. I'm really disappointed to see that Perez has had the injury bug. I had high expectations for him.
