OAK / HOU

[Athletics GM (Jared)]

Oakland sends:
Francisco Alvarez, C (NYM) - milb
Marcelo Mayer, SS (BOS) - milb
Nolan Gorman, 2B (STL) - protected
Pedro Leon, OF (HOU) - milb

to Houston for:
Yordan Alvarez, OF (HOU) - $7m, $10m, $15m, $26m, $26m, $26m
Martin Maldonado, C (HOU) - $700k

Worked really hard with Jason to get to a deal on this. I feel like Yordan is about to wake up from his slumber and go on a run. If he does that it might just be enough to put me over the top. I'm giving up a lot of future value here, but I think it fits my team. Over to Jason to confirm.

[Astros GM (Jason)]

HOU confirms. It was hard for me to trade away Alvarez but this deal will help my team in the long run. Good conversation and good luck to OAK in the playoffs.
