Astros, Blue Jays Complete Ten-Player Trade: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

The Astros and Blue Jays have completed a ten-player trade, the teams announced. The Astros obtain seven players from Toronto: right-hander Francisco Cordero, outfielder Ben Francisco, minor leaguers Joe Musgrove, Asher Wojciechowski, David Rollins and Carlos Perez, and a player to be named. The Astros send left-hander J.A. Happ (pictured) and right-handed relievers Brandon Lyon and David Carpenter to Toronto in the trade.

Houston didn't get much, the Jays needed some kind of pitching, even though Happ probably will be bad.

Astros didn't improve, it could help a little for the Blue Jays

How quick do players move when this happens?....am I correct to NOT expect Happ and Lyon to be at the game tomorrow night for the astros?

Yep, they're already with the Jays.

I remember the Jays wanted Happ when the Phillies were pursuing a trade for Halladay a couple years back.

I don't think Happ will fair too well in the AL East.

Kind of an odd trade, but likely doesn't impact either team.
