*They should really trade Cano and resign him in the offseason. It's not like he's going to give them a hometown discount. The problem with that strategy as a rule is you would be taking away the draft pick penalty for another team signing him, which drives up the price and brings more competition to sign him. Maybe, but if a team is about to shell out $200m for Cano, I doubt they're really worried too much about the draft pick. It's something that would matter a lot more for, say, Stephan Drew.

To me the biggest part of the Bud Norris deal was that Baltimore traded the competitive balance pick. This past draft that pick had a value of $1,587,700 towards the Marlins draft pool. While Hoes and Hader have a chance to help the big club in some form neither appear to be potential stars in my opinion but Houston can use the extra pick and dollars to acquire a solid prospect in what is expected to be a strong draft.
