How the Verlander trade on August 31st went down. Very long and detailed, and pretty crazy that they had seconds to spare.
Me personally, I did not hear about the deal successfully made until after midnight because all of my attention was on the Harvey floods and especially living near a river it was kind of hairy until it crested earlier than usual. I had already given up after hearing Choomp mention it but word was going around that it was dead.
"I'm not exactly sure what time it was, but it was late, and in the middle of one of my paces I look at Kate and go, 'Screw it. We're going to Houston.' And she goes, 'OK!' and got excited. It was a pretty cool moment, really."
