Astros - Giants Trade 1/10/22 10:04 am ET

[Flash]

Astros trade:
MI Estrada, Thairo, $0.5m (P-2023)

Giants trade:
RP Crismatt, Nabil, $0.5m (P-2024)
SP Castellanos, Humberto, $0.5m (P-2024)   
SP-RP Espino, Paulo, $0.5m (2023)

Giants are giving up some arms for a position player to strengthen their lineup depth.  Espino and Castellanos provided some much needed points as SPs last season, as did RP Crismatt, but hopefully Estrada continues his development and will offset their loss in 2022 and beyond.

Astros to confirm.

Astros confirm.

We feel safe in moving Estrada for the much needed arms as we have several holes to fill in the bullpen, and limited cap room to manoeuver in.

Since it is the off-season, and with the trade being approved unanimously, 6-0, the trade will be processed before the end of the 48 hour waiting period.
