You've had time to read the pretty shocking leaks now on Houston's trade discussions for the last 10 months. People around baseball are doing the same thing. They're also reacting to it on Twitter. Here's a sampling of what people are saying:
I would not want to be in the same room as Luhnow for the next few days. He's about to rip somebody's face off.

Welp. Merry Astros Leaked Document Christmas, everyone.
— Steve E. (@KevinBassStache) June 30, 2014
I think the weirdest thing about this @Deadspin piece on the Astros is Houston's fascination with Lucas Harrell.
— Rivers McCown (@FO_RiversMcCown) June 30, 2014
Pretty great for a fan to be able to see the back-and-forth between execs
— Astros County (@AstrosCounty) June 30, 2014
Of course, one day soon there will be one less employee of the organization, because Sig and his wiffle bat eliminated the mole
— Astros County (@AstrosCounty) June 30, 2014
@darenw @AstrosCounty Sounds like they need to hire you, Daren. Congrats on the article, BTW!
— Steve E. (@KevinBassStache) June 30, 2014
Would've been awesome if Astros staff's fantasy FB stuff had leaked into the @Deadspin piece. "Offered JL Beast Mode for Dre. We shall see."
— Sean Pendergast (@SeanCablinasian) June 30, 2014
That took the Brady Aiken "news" off the front page pretty quick!
— Jayne Hansen (@JayneWTHB) June 30, 2014
Seriously though, the Astros may want to hire a body guard to keep Luhnow from literally devouring the souls of everyone around him.
— Tyler Stafford (@JeffBlogwell) June 30, 2014
"Oh holy crap I just offered Glasnow for Bud Norris please say no please say no please say no please say no."
— Pat Lackey (@whygavs) June 30, 2014
MIAMI WANTED MATT DOMINGUEZ BACK FOR LOGAN MORRISON! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
— Steve E. (@KevinBassStache) June 30, 2014
Reading through this Astros stuff is fun and all, but man, this is about as embarrassing as it gets for the organization.

Multiple executives confirm authenticity of trade talks hacked from Astros computer. Docs: http://t.co/A4kGsaVPGV and http://t.co/NspdhRJi4d
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) June 30, 2014
"Deadspin leak? More like you're all going to be dead in a week." - Luhnow, probably
— Tyler Stafford (@JeffBlogwell) June 30, 2014
Tons of interesting insight into the mechanics of baseball trades in those docs. Juiciest: Astros turned down Stanton for Correa/Springer.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) June 30, 2014
It's refreshing to know moronic Fantasy trade requests happen in real life!
— Steve E. (@KevinBassStache) June 30, 2014
This is the story that explains the Astros’ internal system, Ground Control. http://t.co/qBKVo7JjQY
— Evan Drellich (@EvanDrellich) June 30, 2014
Some thoughts; Totally fine w/the Astros NOT pulling trigger on Stanton deal. Springer/Correa have ALL-STARS written all over them.
— Yoni Pollak (@YoniPollak) June 30, 2014
Needless to say if this breach is legit #Astros are in full lockdown mode.
— Timothy De Block (@TimothyDeBlock) June 30, 2014
Love Luhnow aiming how on these prospects. However, seems like he may have taken a pretty bad Norris deal.
— Yoni Pollak (@YoniPollak) June 30, 2014
This is Ground Control to MLB/ You've really made the grade/ And the papers want to know who you would trade/
— Tyler Stafford (@JeffBlogwell) June 30, 2014
Tal's Hill will feature a freshly-dug grave for tonight's game

. @astros 1-2-3-4-5? That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage.
— Zachary Levine (@zacharylevine) June 30, 2014
Full accounting of the Astros leak here at Deadspin: http://t.co/I6RQqBsECw Fascinating look inside how Houston approaches trade talks.

No organization in baseball has been louder & made a more concerted effort, to tout its intelligence and resources than the Astros recently.
— Evan Drellich (@EvanDrellich) June 30, 2014
Friend in the game confirms Astros leaked documents are legit. Kind of amazing.
— David Cameron (@DCameronFG) June 30, 2014
Going forward, all trade talks between teams will take place Deep Throat style in a parking garage in the middle of the night.
— Jason Parks (@ProfessorParks) June 30, 2014
Here's the moral of Astros' talks: Always ask high. Never know when a team has soured on a player and you might be able to snake him cheap.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) June 30, 2014
I'm fine with the Astros asking the Sox for top prospects for Norris. Sox countering by offering Lavarnway instead is the actual rude part.
— Marc Normandin (@Marc_Normandin) June 30, 2014
Cherington responding with "How about Lavarnway?" is his Theo Epstein "lol" moment.
