Trade: Cordero, Francisco to Astros; Happ, Lyon and Carpenter to Blue Jays

[Cowtipper]

A big 10 player trade took place...

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.

Interesting. Why did Toronto give up so many players for three pitchers? The Blue Jays definitely have a playoff shot, but still.

Kinda bizarre.
