to the Tampa Bay Rays for
Joey Wendle $4

Will Bednar $0.5 (prospect)
Astros were looking to clear cap space, add an inexpensive MI and build for the future. This deal also helps our rotation. The $5M to offer a bit of salary relief for the deal to go through. Astros will release Dalquist to make room for Bednar.
Rays to confirm.
