What’s the back story on Morton wanting to get the f*** out of Houston? He’s on a very club friendly deal in Tampa. Surely the ‘Stros could have matched. 

He loved it here. It was the Astros decision. And it was a mistake.

If I recall, he's from Florida, and wanted to be closer to family.

Why did we even keep this guy around after 2017. Yes it’s early. But this is bs in a game 7. You are the vet pitcher on the team. Strikeout or homerun. Flip a coin.

If Luhnow hadn't lowballed Morton we almost surely would have won last year and would already be in this year's WS.

Though  I can't really bitch about it, since at the time I was sad but agreed with Luhnow's logic.

Dammit.

ask the fuckers who were fired in the off-season

I saw something about how Morton’s wife hated Houston. I mean I live here, and it’s not for everybody. Tampa has some nice beaches, but their ballpark might be the worst in the history of baseball. Doesn’t feel like a baseball decision.
