Kevin Gausman got DFA'd and he's a better pitcher than Sanchez. If we as fans are not hung up on 2016 anymore, then pretty good chance GM's around the league aren't either. Sanchez's value was likely little to nothing. You can still not be happy with the trade as Fisher was going to be out of options after the season so his value likely would have dropped the longer the Astros held on to him, but other than Stevenson (who looks good in A+ and I would have liked to hold on to him), there really wasn't much value going to the Astros. Of course the Astros could fix Sanchez (and Biagini) and make us look foolish, but Pete Walker hasn't made anyone better since he's been here, so chances are it wouldn't have mattered.
