Why did the Astros get Wolf?

Question

they are going to the playoffs this year. so are they going to sign him long-term or what.

Answer 1

Yea it is really a dumb move and I don't see the point of this transaction at all.

Answer 2

Im asking why the brewers got Ray Durham :D

Answer 3

To steal him away from other teams. Maybe it's one of those trades where he'll be dealt to another team for prospects. There are still 9 days until the trade deadline

Answer 4

This is a trade that makes absolutely no sense. The season is over for both teams so the Astros would have been better off bringing up some kids and letting them gain experience. Instead, Wade trades for a mediocre veteran he has no chance of re-signing. No wonder Chacon choked him.

Where did he learn to GM, the Isaiah Thomas School of Professional Sports Management?

Answer 5

I dont kno that was a bad Choice

Answer 6

currently living in San Diego and listening to sports talk radio today is saying Wolf wants to come back to San Diego when he becomes a FA this offseason

Astros gave up a player for nothing basically.

Answer 7

Ed Wade s******g up teams again,but they desperatly needed some pitcher since Roy Oswalts struggling with injuries and they got rid of Shawn Chacon and Wade is familer with Wolf since he was GM of the Phillies when Wolf was there,but it doesn't make much sense because the Astros are pretty much out of contention now.

Answer 8

Because our General Manager is a loser.

Simple.

He trades for players on the back part of their career.

Gives a bunch.

Reineke is a young player. He could have done something for us. Once again our GM is showing he is one of the worst in the league.
