63rd overall. First in Astros’ system.
Surprised, but they needed a starter really bad.

I hope that is good for Drew, but I dunno. Mets seem to be in a tough spot. Maybe he gets to see the field sooner in NY?

He was somewhat blocked in Houston.

Hope it works for Drew. He seems to shy away from attention like playing in NY might give.

Can’t wait till they boo him the first time. That will eventually happen. Double Bird at the entire borough of Bronx!

Trade deadline approaching.

If we call could pool our money, we could likely trade for the entire White Sox lineup - except Luis Roberts

As a Braves fan I hate the Mets so much. Idk if I can get his jersey now bc of this ugh

My bride has some very unladylike comments on this trade.

I felt the sting. I’m happy for Drew that he will get in the big show sooner, but he’s an enemy now. Chop on!

Sounds like a worthy, intelligent woman. Mets are a train wreck.

Since the Mets aren’t making the playoffs, Drew has a chance for a call up. There was probably no chance in Houston.

Tough break all New York based teams fans are sweethearts!!!!

Update: Mets just traded outfielder Tommy Pham to Arizona for SS Jeremy Rodriguez. This certainly helps Drew's chances.

There's a real chance he may be part of September call ups. He was expected to be called up by the Astros by many and the Mets are definitely not as deep as the Astros and are obviously out of playoff race.

Mets are here in DC for a couple games at the start of September- would love to see Drew play here.

Well, Drew should be getting a jersey upgrade, at least fashion-wise.

If ever there was a baseball jersey that screamed, "Do you want fries with that, mister?"

(Suddenly, I'm craving a root beer float...)

Blade was just recently promoted to AA in the Mets system. They might end up teammates again soon.

I grew up watching the Braves and Orioles but I am in close proximity to Nats Park. I'd say I'm more just a baseball fan than a fan of any particular MLB team.
