The Astros got a new infielder for the left side. How did Twitter react to this?
Okay, so the Astros are bringing back shortstop/third baseman Jed Lowrie on a three-year contract (with a fourth-year option). This seems like a good move for the Astros, but how is the rest of baseball taking it? How are fans reacting? Here's a sampling of Twitter's reactions to the move:
Other than Altuve, Astros infield offense was poor. Lowrie a nice upgrade. Carlos Correa? "Nice problem to have," Jeff Luhnow said

I have been buried in other work this morning, but teams were actually considering Jed Lowrie for 3B? That seems like a bad fit.

the Astros signed Jed Lowrie to play shortstop after learning "we could put an additional fielder between second and third base"

Chase Headley and Jed Lowrie, two 3B options for the #SFGiants, both came off the board today.

I believe Jed Lowrie lives in Houston during the offseason anyway. #Astros

Jed Lowrie gets $23 million guaranteed to play SS for #astros. He lives in Houston in the offseason. Nice deal for him.

I wish we signed Jed Lowrie instead of treading away Shane Greene for a .220 hitting platoon player

Signed Case Keenum and Jed Lowrie in the same day - riding the Houston sports roller coaster.

Good News: Astros sign Jed Lowrie Bad News: Texans lose Tom Savage for the Baltimore game, at least.

It seems like just yesterday Jed Lowrie was catching the Astros' wrath for bunting for the A's with a 7-run lead.

So the #Astros got Chris Carter, Brad Peacock and Max Stassi for Jed Lowrie only to recoup Lowrie after a two-year hiatus. Crafty.

LOL at #Mets fans getting their panties in a bunch over Lowrie. Its Jed Lowrie people, relax.

Jed Lowrie says Astros were the most aggressive: "It shows they really liked me and they really wanted me & it's always nice to be liked."
