Astros recieve:
MI/CI Alberto Callaspo $0.5m (P-2010)
C Yadier Molina $4m (2011)
9-11 STL pick(originally from HOU) now back to HOU
9-19 STL pick
for
Cardinals receive:
MI Jimmy Rollins $8m (2010)
x- stros give $4.5m for 2010
To make room Astros release MI Castro, Juan, $0.5m (2010) and eat his salary
I continue to build for the future for younger players and those that I may be able to resign at a lower price tag. Pickups of Molina and Callaspo should keep me competitive even though I give up Rollins who didn't do to much for me for the short time I had him in the first part of the year. Stros agree...
