Rangers/Astros Trade

[Jeff (Former Rangers GM)]

It's only fitting seeing as these teams kicked off the season that we complete a trade today.

The Houston Astros trade:

RP Ronald Belisario
2013 $0.7m
2014 $0.7m

Houston Astros 2013 Amateur Draft First Round Pick

to the Texas Rangers for:

SP Zach Bird
$0.3m(minors)

Texas Rangers 2013 Amateur Draft Third Round Pick

I confirm this trade. I need an RP as I have a lot of injury problems at that position right now. The 'Stros get a prospect we both really like. Nice working with you as always Jesse. Best of luck to you this season. I'm glad your in the NL.

[Royals GM (Bill)]

Approve. Nice upside spect for a solid bullpen arm. Good deal for both.

[Deleted]

Approve

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Again, another trade is void because a team has already traded their draft pick. TEX dealt their 3rd to ATL. C'mon guys, know what picks you have.
