LA Angels Trade
---------------------------------
DH/1B Albert Pujols
Houston Astros Trade
---------------------------------
1B Carlos Pena
SP Asher Wojciechowski
C Carlos Perez
This is the final move in the "break down" of the old guard and all moves from this point will be rebuilding and restocking the talent. Pujols has a VERY long term contract(thru 2020) that we did not want to be burdened with and asking another team to take on the contract, considering Pujols' diminishing returns and injury, required us to take prospects for compensation.
Astros gain $13,100,000 in salary
Pena will remain on active roster. Wojo and Perez will remain in minors.
