One of the biggest trades of the deadline involved the Blue Jays which saw pitcher Yusei Kikuchi head to Houston in exchange for Jake Bloss, Joey Loperfido and Will Wagner.
Fans originally believed the Blue Jays won the trade without a doubt, especially with the way Wagner has been playing but things have taken a turn lately. Loperfido and Bloss have been struggling while Kikuchi has been on fire for the Astros. The 33 year old is 4-0 on his new team with a 3.07 ERA and 0.98 WHIP as the Astros get ready for a playoff run.
At one point, it seemed that the #BlueJays fleeced the Astros in the Yusei Kikuchi trade. As sample sizes grow on both sides, the trade seems much more even than it did to begin with.

Fans are still beyond happy with the number of prospects the Blue Jays were able to get for Kikuchi but with his performance in Houston, some have been wondering if Toronto could have gotten even more for him.
